Gladys “Mickey” Painter (nee Wilkins)

PAINTER, Gladys “Mickey” (nee Wilkins)
Gladys was born July 27, 1914 on a Saskatchewan homestead, and passed away peacefully in Victoria on May 23, 2009. Predeceased by her husband Lincoln and brother Bob Wilkins, she is survived by her son Bob Painter and nieces Jennifer and Allison Wilkins, and nephews Torrie and Steve Wilkins. In 1940, Gladys and Lincoln escaped the prairie dustbowl and found their “paradise” in Victoria. Gladys was happiest when grubbing about in her garden, and was known to her many friends as a gracious hostess. The help and support provided to Gladys in her final days by the staff at Beacon Hill Villa is very much appreciated by her family. Memorial Reception will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2009 at 3:00pm at McCall Bros. Family Centre, Johnson and Vancouver Streets. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

    Dear Bob- We were so sorry to read of your Mom’s passing. Some of my happiest memories were Friday afternoon walks in the park followed by lunch in Cook Street Village! She could out-walk me! Our thoughts are with you.

    Take care,
    Edith & Kent

    Bob:
    We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I have very fond memories of visiting your family home with my mom and dad or Uncle Laurie and Aunt Gertie. Your family home and gardens were always so clean, meticulous, manicured and pristine.
    Your mom had twinkle in her eye and she enjoyed a bit of mischief here and there.
    I always admired your mom and enjoyed the stories she and my mom shared of growing up on the praries.
    Jim and Jo (Hendrickson) Reid – daughter of Addie (Ask) Hendrickson
