Gladys B Wilson (nee Patterson) passed away of natural causes on Jan 30, 2025, in Fredericton at the age of 98. She was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, great-aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Gladys was predeceased by her parents Arthur and Ida, her loving husband Reginald, her only daughter Mona Guthrie and her siblings, Owen (in infancy), Leta, Eric, Laurie, Marie, and Ralph. She is survived by her grandchildren Robert (Sheila), Peter (Janet), and James (Tina), and great-grandchildren Caleb, Olivia, Annika, Jacqueline, and Dylan, as well as several nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews.

While she didn’t have an easy life it was one still filled with joy. Born in Upper Falmouth Gladys grew up on the farm eventually moving to Fredericton where she was married. She always felt at home in the Maritimes. Gladys worked at the Hart shoe factory until its closure and was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 4 in Fredericton. She kept herself young by dedicating herself to volunteering in many places and spending time with her friends, nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. 

Gladys will be deeply missed and remembered for her inspiring strength and kindness. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.

A graveside committal service will take place in the Fredericton Rural Cemetery on Wednesday, May 28th at 2PM.  The online sharing of memories & condolences can be made at www.bishopsfuneralhome.com
