Gladys Ruth Ielo

September 14, 1942 - May 15, 2025

It is with deepest sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our mom Gladys Ruth lelo (nee Birney). She will be sorely missed by her entire family, including her husband of 60 years Tony, son Carman (Kathy) daughter Louisa, and daughter Anna (Steve). She loved her grandchildren Tony (Jon), Jess (Jake), Angelina (David) and Corey (Jessica), Marcus (Jenny). She will also be missed by her great-grandchildren Isaac, Theo, Ben, Ava, Aiden and Emily. Ruth was a piano teacher for close to 50 years and instructed hundreds of students over that time. She especially enjoyed going to St. Mary’s School in Grafton to teach piano. She had many fond memories of the all the children she saw at school and at her home. A private family internment will take place at a later date. Thank you to all medical staff that took care of our mom. It is greatly appreciated.
