This past weekend, my aunt Gladys died at the age of 76. She hated being called “Aunt” so we just called her Gladys. For fun, we’d sometimes write “Aunt Gladys” on Christmas cards. Ha. Growing up, my family along with my Nan would visit her on Saturday nights at her apartment in Hamilton. We’d enjoy a big “lunch” consisting of cold cuts, cheese, cookies, cake, you name it and listen to music and catch up on family news (aka gossip). That was a Saturday night tradition.
Gladys was the fourth daughter of Alan and Rose (Power) Mills. She grew up in Oyster Pond, Nova Scotia. She was the baby of the family (hence her nickname “Babe”) until my mother came along four years later.
Condolences to Angie, Rosie, Donna, and Jerry and their families.
