Gladys Vivian (Milley) Pasher
1932-2010
With heavy hearts and deep sadness, we announce the death of our
mother, Gladys Pasher, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital on
Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2010.
Born in New Waterford, she was a daughter of the late Absolm and
Jemyma (Keats) Milley, formerly of New Waterford.
Gladys married James Elmer Pasher in April 1949. Da (Jim) died Aug.
25, 1965, leaving mom to raise the family. With her strong sense of
family values, she utilized her sheer strong will and determination
and raised us by selling Fuller Brush and Avon, house cleaning, and
driving taxi. She always believed the Lord didn't close one door
without opening another.
We are their legacy; Jim (Wilma), Joe (Linda), Ont., Rob (Pauline),
Mary McLaughlin, Glenn (Mary), Judy MacGibbon, Bruce (Tina), Keith
(Susan). Also left to mourn are 30 grandchildren; many
great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews as well as siblings Joan
Alder and John Milley of Ontario.
Mom was predeceased by her husband, Jim, sons Brian, Gary, and
Donnie, grandchildren Jo-Anne Horne, son-in-law David MacGibbon,
siblings, Cecil, Will, Alma, Elsie and Vera.
We are left with many great mealtime memories at grandma's house and
games in the back yard. Mom was an avid sports fan (go-Toronto-go),
fabulous cook and baker known for keeping secrets about her recipes.
They're safe with you, mom.
Visitation will be held Thursday, Aug. 26 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at
V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 380 Smith Street, New Waterford. A
funeral service will take place Friday at 11 a.m. in Calvin United
Church with Rev. Duncan Roach officiating. Burial will be in Union
Grove Cemetery, Scotchtown, with a luncheon to follow at Calvin Hall.
Family flowers only. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may
be made to the Calvin United Church Building Fund. Online expressions
of sympathy may be sent to the family at: www.vjmcgillivray.ca.

Your mom was such an inspiration. As a kid who hung around your neighborhood, I never understood how she managed to do all she did and raise a brood of kids by herself. I never once saw Gladys without a smile and the lovely photo above confirmed that. She was kind and generous and will be missed terribly by all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Your pride in her is justified tenfold.
— Shirley (Antle) Kelly
