Gladys Mary Hannah November 1, 1927- October 29, 2013 It is with profound and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Gladys Mary Hannah on the morning of October 29th, 2013. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Lorne Hannah; daughter, Myrna and her husband, Donald; grandson, Scott his wife Angela and her two great grandchildren, Carson and Natalie; granddaughter, Kristin, and grandson, Jarrett and his partner Madeline. Gladys was born in Oxbow on November 1st, 1927 to Francis and Beatrice King. Gladys was predeceased by her sister, Muriel Smith (King) and brother, Gordon King, and survived by her brothers, Albert and Robert King and sister-in-law, Lois King. Gladys was also very close with her nieces and nephews, and will be remembered fondly. Gladys and Lorne were married on September 9, 1950 at the family farm at Frobisher, Saskatchewan. Gladys lived the majority of her life in Estevan where she truly enjoyed being an active participant in the community. Gladys was a quietly dedicated volunteer for numerous organizations and events and was a member of the Royal Purple for her lifetime. In recent years Gladys and Lorne moved to Yorkton, SK in order to be closer to Myrna and her family, but her heart was firmly rooted in the community of Estevan and her family from the Oxbow and Frobisher area. Gladys passed on her passion for sports to her family from playing baseball when she was younger; to curling into her 70's, but her favorite sport was unquestionably hockey. Lorne and Gladys were season ticket holders of the Estevan Bruins for over 40 years, and at games over the years she could be overheard sounding more like an NHL scout than a grandmother. Gladys will be missed by all those who knew and loved her, but perhaps most by her grandchildren whom she perhaps loved most of all. She was Grandma Hannah to many outside her family as well. Gladys' devotion will never be forgotten. We will forever love and remember Grandma Hannah (GG). A Celebration of Gladys' Life was held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 2 in the Chapel of Hall Funeral Services, Estevan with Doug Third officiating. Interment followed at Souris Valley Memorial Gardens, Estevan. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan in memory of Gladys Hannah. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan.
