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.
