Gladys Marie

Osborne

It is with deep sorrow and endless love that we announce the passing of Gladys Marie Osborne (née Walker), who passed away peacefully in Ottawa, Ontario, on November 11, 2026, at the age of 81.

Born on July 3, 1945, in Shediac, New Brunswick, Gladys carried the warmth and spirit of the Maritimes with her throughout her life. She was the true heart of the home, dedicating herself wholeheartedly to those she loved. Gladys raised her children with endless patience, warmth, and steady guidance, creating a foundation of strength and kindness that shaped their lives.

Later in life, she found immense joy and fulfillment in her role as a grandmother. She will forever be remembered for her comfort food and her unconditional love—gifts she shared freely with everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Gladys will be lovingly remembered by her son, Daniel Richer (Melanie Cernanec); her daughter, Jessica Osborne (Shaun Callery); and her cherished grandchildren, Edie, Darko, Avah, and Ivey. She is also survived by and will be deeply missed by her many siblings, nieces, and nephews, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

A Catholic Funeral Mass will be held in Gladys’ honour on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Elizabeth Church, 1303 Leaside Avenue, Ottawa.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Gladys’ memory would be deeply appreciated by the family.

Though she is no longer with us, Gladys leaves behind an enduring legacy of love, warmth, and family devotion that will continue to guide us always.
