Gladys was born in Fertile, SK on July 7, 1920, the daughter of James and Ethelyn Winter. She was raised on the family farm near Kakabeka Falls, ON. Later she moved to Thunder Bay, ON to work and there she met and married Odie Vezina. They then moved to Winnipeg to start a family. Gladys attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints most of her adult life, there she was greatly blessed. Mom was a loving and caring person, she would do anything to help her family and friends and she always put the needs of others before her own. She loved to make many crafts and was always knitting special things for people. She delighted in nature and especially gardening.

Our family wishes to thank David and Judith Haddad for their friendship, assistance and support given to Gladys and our family and also to thank Rose and Harold Krahnke. As an expression of sympathy, if friends so desire, donations in Gladys memory may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 5 Kent Street, Winnipeg, MB R2L 1X3 or to a charity of ones choice. A HEART OF GOLD A heart of gold stopped beating Working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Leaves and flowers may wither The golden sun may set But the hearts that loved you dearly Are the ones that wont forget. "I love you dearly and will miss you terribly until we meet again."
