Gladys Dorothy Martha Vaughan
June 13, 1927 –June 16, 2019
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Gladys Vaughan. She leaves to mourn her daughters Bonnie Goranson, Gail Smith (Garth), Debbie Vaughan (Bruce), grandchildren Krista, Marc, Melissa, Karston, Carter, Courtney, Evan and Owen.
She was born and lived 90 years in the Yorkton area. She was an accomplished homemaker and loved to sew, knit, crotchet, do handy crafts and cook. She taught school briefly in the Wallace district where she met her husband Hugh. They farmed in the area for over 40 years. As her family grew up she went back to work as a telephone operator. After Hugh’s death, she moved to Yorkton in 1992 and in 1998 was blessed with a second marriage to Clarence Guenther. After Clarence’s death in 2015 she remained in Yorkton until 2017 when she relocated to Calgary for health reasons.
She cherished her friends and family and loved keeping in touch. Her strong Christian faith helped her through the difficult times in her life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the First Baptist Church at 35 Smith Street East, Yorkton, S3N 0H3.
A Celebration of Life will be held at First Baptist Church (35 Smith Street East, Yorkton) on Saturday, August 10 , 2019 at 2:00 p.m. To view and share photos, condolences and stories of Gladys, please visit www.choicememorial.com.
