It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother Glenys Vaughan Neal (nee Hyde) at Bastion place on November 2nd 2015 at the age of 77 years.
Glenys was born on May 5th, 1938 in Wath-upon-Dearne, Yorkshire, England. She immigrated to Canada in 1967 to Fort McMurray, Albert and lived there until 1994 when she moved with her husband Gordon to Sorrento.
Glenys leaves behind her husband Gordon, son Craig and children of Red Deer, AB; son Adrian and family of Airdrie, AB and daughter Beverley and family of Blind Bay.
Glenys stayed at home taking care of her children and also several foster children, one of whom, Lorretta, of Edmonton attended her service.
We wish to express our appreciation to the 99% of medical care and staff at Bastion Place for their care and attention to Glenys.
A memorial service was held at Fischer’s Funeral Services on Saturday, November 7th Pastor David St. John of Living Waters Community Church officiating
Mrs. Neal will always be in my heart. She took me in as a foster child for a couple of years in the 70’s and treated me like her own daughter. I called her mom then. I only regret is; after I went back to my parents, I didn’t continue to call her mom.
I’ll always remember that day she told me I was going back to my parents, she told me, if it was up to her, she would love for me to stay, and hugged me. We were both crying.
I’ve had several visits with her over the years and she was always happy to see me or talk to me on the phone. I’m glad I had the chance to tell her what a positive influence she was in my life. I will miss you dearly.
Love Loretta
