GLADYS MAY SMITH-DONALD nee WHITTINGTON July 8, 1927 - March 5, 2001 It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dearly loved mother and grandmother. Gladys loved to watch her great-grandchildren play at birthdays, Christmas and holidays. She leaves behind her son Bill Smith; daughter-in-law Helen; grandchildren, Christine (Grant), Bill Jr. (Cindy) great-grandchildren, Miranda, Quinn, Teagan, Taylor and Zachary. The kids always put a smile on G.G.s face. She is also survived by her sister Rose Alfonso; two brothers, Albert of Winnipeg and Dick Whittington of England and her niece Margaret who was always there for her. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave., at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 8. Interment will follow in Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens and a reception will be held in the Chapel Lawn Reception Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Manitoba Lung Association, 629 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, Man., R3A 1P6. God looked around His garden and found an empty space, He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face, He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest, Gods garden must be beautiful. He knew how you were suffering, the road was getting rough, So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you Home. WE LOVE YOU MOM Arrangements entrusted to: CHAPEL LAWN FUNERAL HOME CEMETERY AND CREMATORIUM 885-9715
