Gladys May Downey (nee Goulter)

1923 – 2015

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother Gladys May Downey after a brief illness on Thursday, January 29, 2015, in Invermere, British Columbia.

Gladys was born in Albion Township, Peel County, Ontario on June 18, 1923. She was the fifth child born of eleven to Robert and Velma Goulter. You could always find a warm smile on Gladys’ face as she worked in her garden, cleaned her chicken house or baked her famous tarts.

Gladys was predeceased by her husband Vernon Downey on May 25, 1967, and her son-in law Ralph. She is survived by her children Verna (Bob), Mary Lou (Del), Betty, and Greg (Petra), and siblings Jack (Vera), Myrtle, Lena (Bill), Henry (Eileen), and Jim. Gladys was always very proud of her 10 grandchildren and many great grandchildren.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Page and all the staff at the Invermere and District Hospital for their professional and compassionate treatment.

The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) Thursday evening 7 – 9 o’clock. Funeral service will be held in the chapel on Friday morning, February 6 at 11 o’clock.

Interment Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bolton.

If desired, memorial donations in her honour may be made to a charity of your choice.
