Gladys Mildred Badeau

In Loving Memory of Gladys Mildred Badeau

Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and Aunt

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gladys Mildred Badeau, who departed this life on June 4, 2025 at the age of 70, after bravely battling cancer.

Gladys was a devoted mother to her daughter Carissa (Bart) Nowak, and a proud, adoring grandmother to Liam and Eli, who brought immense joy and purpose to her life. Her love for her family was deep and unwavering, and she embraced her role as matriarch with grace, warmth, and strength.

She will be remembered with love by her surviving siblings, Bernadette (Greg) Kocot, Donna (Larry) Smith, Catharine Badeau, Sandra Badeau, Ed (Val) Badeau, and Tom (Carla) Badeau, as well as her many nieces, nephew, great-nieces, and great-nephews, who all held a special place in her heart.

She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, guidance, and boundless generosity. Whether through a home-cooked meal, a kind word, or a thoughtful gesture, Gladys made those around her feel cherished and valued. Her wisdom was quiet but profound, and her presence was a constant source of comfort.

Gladys leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and compassion—a life beautifully lived, and a soul deeply missed.

A private service will be held for family and close friends Friday June 27, at Holy Rosary Parish in Aldershot at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gladys’s memory to Princess Margaret Hospital, in the hopes that one day no one will lose a loved one to cancer.

May she rest in peace, surrounded by the love she so freely gave.
