Gladys will be sadly missed by daughter Dawn (Stuart) Kletke and her four grand-children; Ryan, Kyle, Aryn, and Samantha.

Predeceased by her parents, Harvey and Minnie (nee Engel) Herlick, her brothers, Ken and Ralph Herlick, her son Wayne Kosmick, and her husbands, Gordon Kosmick, and Arthur Malmas. Gladys was born in South Easthope, Ontario on November 9, 1928. She worked numerous jobs in the area, the one job she always talked about was the hosiery factory, which was converted into a grenade factory during The Second World War, where she continued to work. Gladys met Gordon Kosmick in London, Ontario and the two were married in 1950. In 1957, they moved to Winnipeg, where they raised their family. During her working career in Winnipeg, she worked at McDonalds, Freshwater Fish, and the Golden Oak Inn. After Gordon passed away in 1981, Gladys' love of dance would lead her to meet her second husband, Arthur Malmas. They were married in the spring of 1987 and she moved to Meadows, MB. When Art passed in 2001, Gladys moved back to Winnipeg to be closer to her grandchildren. Gladys' happiest times were spent at the cottage with her family and travelling with Art. Gladys moved into Park City Meadows Condo's in 2008, where she met many new friends. She loved all the social activities, she especially looked forward to Wednesday night bingo. On November 10, 2018 she was able to attend her surprise 90th birthday party, where her brother Bob, wife Yvonne, and cousin Shirley flew in from Ontario as part of the surprise. She was so happy to see family and friends. Special thanks to the staff and Chaplin Lori at Concordia Hospital, your special care was very much appreciated. Also, a special thanks to Dr. Mohammed for your amazing care. According to Gladys' wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held at a later date. www.voyagefuneralhomes.com

Today I surely miss my friend. A call to wish her Merry Christmas and talk was always something I looked forward to. She was always there for us and our kids. Art and Gladys were awesome neighbors and helped out where they could. Gladys came over one time when we had to rush one child to the emergency. I will forever and always be grateful for her time and love. Thank you Dawn, Stewart, Ryan, Kyle, Aaron and Samantha for having us be a part of your family and celebration for Gladys. - Posted by: Jeanette Tkachyk (Country neighbor and friend ) on: Dec 25, 2018

Dawn, my deepest condolences in the loss of your mother. Cousin Gladys shared the same birth date of my younger sister Sharon. My Mom and Cousin Gladys are together once more. Cousin Gladys was a faithful family member and had the greatest sense of humour, maybe inherited from her Mother Minnie, who was also a great lady. I will miss Cousin Gladys too. I am also sooo grateful for our visit with 3 generations from your family this past visit to Ontario. Rest in Peace Cousin Gladys. Dawn take care of yourself.
