Gladys Marie Thompson (née L’Heureux), 93, died peacefully March 8, 2020, at West Shore Laylum Care Centre in Surrey. She was born to Joseph L’Heureux and Eva Carrière in Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan.

Gladys moved to Vancouver as a teenager and met her future husband working in the west coast fishing industry. She married Harry Thompson on her 21st birthday and they had three children, Ronnie, Allan and Kelly. Gladys was predeceased by her husband Harry and her 2 sons Ronnie and Allan. Gladys is survived by her daughter, Kelly (Jim), 2 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, and sister Lorraine. She will be lovingly remembered by the many members of her extended family and network of friends.

Gladys dedicated much of her time and her life to the service of others with a generous and giving spirit. She was feisty, opinionated, funny and loyal.

The family would like to thank the staff at West Shore Laylum and Augustine House for their compassionate care of Mom. A private family celebration will be held at a later date.

You are invited to a leave personal message of condolence for the family.

On behalf of my family, I want to extend my sincerest sympathy on the loss of your mother. My memories of her are of a laughing, teasing, slightly naughty person. I always envied her tan and “joie de vivre”! Praying for you and your family. My parents were Albert and Mildred Gerard of Surrey.
