Gladys May Adams (Williams) passed away peacefully on June 24th, 2011 at the Chilliwack General Hospital, age 91 years.

Gladys was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Rose and Dick Williams and moved with her family to Vancouver, B.C., then to Rosedale. She married Leonard Jack Adams on December 26th 1945 and resided in Chilliwack.

Gladys will be remembered and missed by her children, Dawn Toop (Larry), Jim Adams (Arlene), Dave Adams (Patricia), Dianne Bradshaw (Dennis), Jeff Adams (Sheila), her 16 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was predeceased by her husband Leonard Adams on August 16th, 1974 and her eldest son Glen Adams (Sylvi) May 10th, 2011.

Gladys was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #4. She held many offices on the Executive of the Ladies Auxiliary. She volunteered in the kitchen, did years of helping with the catering for special occasions. She worked in the Poppy Room and she loved being the President, Past President and going to Conventions. She also loved her Legion family and friends. Every Friday and Saturday we could find her in her special chair having a beer, pulling tabs and playing Keno. Thank you to all her special friends: Harry, Sylvia, Ziggy, George, Marge, Betty, Eva, and Michael. She looked forward every week to seeing them.

Gladys also was the Hostess at Charleswood Catering Service for many years. She loved her “Girls Day Out” spent with her granddaughters, and forty years on the Foresters bus trips to Reno, where she was Queen of the Bus.

The family would like to thank Dr. Madill and the staff members of the Chilliwack General Hospital for their care and support.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, July 2nd 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #4, 9350 Mary Street, Chilliwack.
