Peddle: Gladys (Hayward)
Passed away peacefully at Royal Victoria Hospital on Wednesday February 16, 2022, after courageously living with diabetes and kidney disease for decades. In her 80th year, Gladys joins her husband and best friend Ray, who passed away in 2013. She leaves behind her beloved daughter Charlene and son-in-law Ian who will greatly miss her enduring love and friendship. Gladys will be greatly missed by her dearest son Darren. Grandma will be missed very much by her three grandchildren, Hayden, Zachary and Mackenzie whom she loved immensely. She was predeceased by her brothers Albert Hayward and Cyril Hayward, and is survived by her dear siblings Ethel Abbott, Roy Hayward, Lloyd Hayward (Mary), Phyllis Burnand (Greg), Marlene Abbott (Ted), and sister-in-law Pat Hayward. She had many friends who considered her their “Best Friend”. If you were friends with Gladys, you had a friend for life.
The family would like to thank everyone who reached out and supported Gladys over the past few difficult months, right up to her final days. Gladys lived life to the fullest, always with a ready smile, laughter on her lips and a sparkle in her eye. That is the way she will be remembered always, by everyone who loved her.
The family will receive friends at Rod Abrams Funeral Home, 1666 Tottenham Road, Tottenham, 905-936-3477 on Saturday February 19th, 2022 from 12:30 – 3:00pm.

Although COVID-19 restrictions have eased, the family have requested that anyone attending the visitation and/or funeral service be fully vaccinated and all must wear a face mask covering the nose and mouth and maintain social distancing at all times.
