Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGLADYS MAE GORCZYNSKI (SWEET) August 24, 1929 - April 27, 2017 Peacefully, surrounded by family, our mother passed at Riverview Health Centre. Predeceased by her husband Edward (Eddy), brother Billy, and sisters Elsie and Bernice. Left to cherish her memory are daughters, Dawna (Mark), Janet (John), Joanne, and Paula (Bob); her sister Evie; grandchildren Todd (Lee) and Hayley, and great-grandchildren Lucas, Ellie, Daniel and Arthur. Gladys made friends everywhere she went and leaves a legacy behind. At Riverview she was known as "the lady on the blue scooter" who navigated the facility. Mom loved playing crib, cards and trips to the casino. Mom took pride in being an advocate at the facility to enhance the everyday life of the residents. Mom will live on as the (SHERIFF) in the movie "The Riverview Fugitive", featuring many residents. Mom had a life well lived and made the most of every moment. Sincere thanks to the staff on CD4, Mom's home for over three years.

Aunty G. was larger than life and touched many hearts. She always left you with a smile on your face. Her love of learning new things and her ability to laugh at herself lead her on many of Life's great adventures. Our family has lost our wonderful matriarch.
