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, BC. Gladys was born in Albion Township, Peel Co., 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. A memorial service for Gladys will be held on Friday, February 6, 2015 at Egan Funeral Home in Bolton, Ontario (203 - Queen Street South) at 11:00 am.
