It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Gladys Bumstead (née Shiell) on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at the age of 94, at Huronview Home for the Aged in Clinton. Formerly of Wingham, Gladys lived a long and fulfilling life dedicated to her family, friends, and community.

Beloved wife of the late Allan Bumstead, who predeceased her on October 15, 2023. Together, they shared 72 years of marriage, beginning on October 6, 1951. Loving mother of Jeff (Mary) Bumstead of Kingston and Gary Bumstead of Wingham. Cherished grandmother of Melissa (Iain Valliere) and Chris Bumstead (Courtney King), and great-grandmother of Bradley. She will be deeply missed by her niece Heidi Moore.

Predeceased by her parents Norman and Adeline Shiell, sister Anne Moore, and brother-in-law Peter Bumstead. Gladys was known for her unwavering determination, meticulous nature, and caring spirit. Her love for bookkeeping began as a teenager at Elmer Wilkinson’s Wallpaper Shoppe, and later she supported her family businesses as a bookkeeper alongside her husband and father-in-law.

A heartfelt thank you to the staff at Huronview for their compassionate care, and to Linda VanWyk and the Solace Singers for their kindness during Gladys’ final days. The family also extends gratitude to Dayna of McBurney Funeral Home for her support in difficult conditions.

A celebration of life for both Allan and Gladys Bumstead will take place in late spring of 2025. Details will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial donations to the Huronview Resident’s Council, a local food bank, or the Solace Singers.
