With great sadness, we the family, announced the passing of our mother, Gladys Mildred Crewe, Age 87, on Sunday August 18, 2019 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney.

Besides her parents and her husband, Gladys was predeceased by her siblings, Harold, William, Walter, Douglas, Wilson, Cecil and Hilda.

In her earlier years Gladys was a member of the Branch 128 Whitney Pier Ladies Auxiliary. She loved bowling and was a long-time member of the Sydney Whitney Pier Bowling League and later in the Seniors League. Gladys will be remembered with great love in the hearts of all who knew her.
