<div itemprop="description">KRAUSS, Gladys Eileen June <br />February 24, 1925 &ndash; August 18, 2015 <br /> <br />Surrounded by her loving family, Gladys Krauss passed away at the age of 90 years at Michener Hill Extendicare on Tuesday, August 18, 2015. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 68 years, Ernie in 2012. Mom will be deeply missed by her children; Diane (Guy) Adler, Carol (Gerry) Campbell, David (Barbara) Krauss, four grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren, who were the absolute delight of her life. She is also survived by her loving sister, Natalie Longe, special niece, Christine Harris, brother-in-law, Ted Krause, and sister-in-law, Audrey Krauss, as well as many other nieces, nephews, and a dear friend, Gwen Hewlett. <br /> <br />Mom was born in North Dakota to Karin and Emil Carlson, moving to Tilley, Alberta in 1929, Torrington, Alta. in 1936, and Vauxhall, Alta. in 1938. Gladys then moved to Calgary, Alta. in 1942 to attend Garbett&rsquo;s Business College to become a very skilled secretary. After meeting Ernie in Calgary, the loving couple were married and lived in Tilley, before moving to Red Deer in 1948. Gladys was very involved in many ways at Gaetz United Church and worked as Church Secretary for a number of years. She also enjoyed working for the City of Red Deer and Weber Brothers. The Horticultural Society played an important and joyful part in her life as did the Vasa Lodge. She was immensely proud of her Swedish heritage and made three memorable trips to Sweden in later life. Gladys will always be remembered for her zest for life, her sense of humor, her caring and thoughtful ways and above all, her gracious hostessing skills. <br /> <br />A special thanks to the staff at Extendicare for their exceptional loving care of our mother these past five years. <br /> <br />A Celebration of Glady&rsquo;s life will be held at Gaetz Memorial United Church, 4758 Ross Street, Red Deer, on Monday, August 24, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. <br /> <br />In lieu of flowers, donations in Glady&rsquo;s memory may be made directly to Gaetz Memorial United Church, 4758 Ross Street, Red Deer, Alta, T4N 1X2 or to Michener Hill Extendicare, 12 Michener Boulevard, Red Deer, Alta, T4P 0J9. <br /> <br /></div>
