It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gladys Zemianski (née Plett), loving wife, mother and grandmother, who passed away peacefully at her home in Surrey, British Columbia, after a brief battle with cancer, with her daughter by her side.
She leaves to mourn her daughters, Jocelyn (Chad) and Alicia; her beloved granddaughters, Abigail and Sophia; sisters, Rose, Emily and Helen; brothers, Menno, Randy and Brian; as well as many in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins. Gladys was predeceased by her loving husband William (Bill) of 54 years; her parents, Abram and Anna Plett; sisters, Laura and Edna; and brothers, Art and Stan.
Gladys was born in Steinbach, Manitoba, and raised on a farm in Landmark, Manitoba. She married Bill in 1970. Shortly after marrying, Gladys and Bill moved to Edmonton before returning to Winnipeg and then on to Saskatoon. In 1985 they moved to the Greater Vancouver area.
She was an avid bridge player and gardener and loved hosting large holiday gatherings. She discovered a love of travel later in life and enjoyed exploring new places with Bill and family, including many cruises.
Gladys will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, hospitality, and devotion to family. As per Gladys’s wishes, cremation has taken place.
