Gladys (Gigi) Misson
December 5, 1932 - September 9, 2024
Tribute
After a long life with a short illness, Gladys passed peacefully at home on September 9th. Living independently in Osoyoos, she spent her final few weeks, in Oliver with her daughter, Nola and granddaughter and her husband, Dawn and Ken MacRae. As she lived her life, she was lovingly cared for.
Predeceased by her father, Eric Flinton; mother, Nora Ault Flinton; step mom/aunt, Maude Ault Flinton; husband, George Misson; partner, Robert Anderson; three sisters, and their spouses, Isabel Vroom (Bob), June Spurling (Roger), Noni Alexander (Dave); two brothers, Norm Flinton, Rob Flinton (Cheryl).
Gladys, affectionately called Gigi, leaves to mourn her four children, Gina Ironmonger (Rob), Nola Williams, Gary Misson (Monte), Ben Misson (Lori); grandchildren, Dawn MacRae (Ken), Chris Darbyson (Emi), Melissa Cameron (Darcy), Desiree, Shaelyn and Eric; sister-in-law, Marion Flinton and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
Life was not always easy, but with her positive attitude, she always faced obstacles with steadfast joy, stubbornness and adventure. Spunky, sassy and a great sense of humour, she praised and cursed, often in the same sentence.
She loved and cared for her family and friends unconditionally. You never left without a hug and an “I Love You” from her.
Her zest for life was often shared. Whether travelling across Canada, the north, kayaking, Europe, Mexico or just a walk along the beach or forest trail, gardening or a simple meal, it was always an adventure filled with fun, laughter, sometimes tears, but, always with a sense of belonging.
Her family would like to thank family, friends for their prayers, visits and numerous acts of kindness. Thank you to Interior Health Nurses, Care Givers and Red Cross who made her life more comfortable and enabled her wish to not go into a care facility.
In honour of her wishes, at a future date, Glady’s remains will be spread, where she was lovingly raised, in Ladysmith, BC.
As Gigi would say, Keep on Truck’n and if It’s To Be, It’s up to me.

Dear Nola and Dawn, sorry to hear of the passing of your mom and grandma. She was a special lady. She supported Brian and me when we needed it and always came and had a visit any time she saw me in a store or on the street. She will be missed. <3
From: Gail (Skelton) Blidook
Relation: Friends
I first met Gladys and George and grandchildren, Dawn and Chris, when they became next door neighbours to my parents in Sportsman’s Bowl, Oliver. What wonderful people they were. Through the years Gladys was always a joy to be around, always quick with a good laugh and a warm hug. You, her family, can be so proud to know she spread so much love to so many in her world. My heartfelt love to you all in this time of deep loss.
