It is with heavy hearts, the family announces the death of Gladys Mary Hodgin of Hampton, NB, which occurred on Friday, November 21, 2014 at Bobby’s Hospice. Born in Saint John, NB, on June 20, 1953, a daughter of the late John and Christine (Beshara) Hodgin Although Gladys was not blessed with any of her own children, she certainly could have easily won the Best Aunt Ever Award. She enjoyed a special and unique relationship with each and every one of her nieces and nephews. She was always available to any of them, at any time and loved to spend as much time with them as possible. She would listen and then give her opinion. Her door was always open. She spent most of her adult life as a nanny, from her home, here in Hampton, all the way to British Columbia. You can be sure that she held a special place in each of these children’s hearts, none more so than Liam. Gladys was an active Legion member, and was proud to have been the President of the Branch 28, Ladies Auxiliary. She had been very active in most legion activities over the years, especially darts. She thoroughly enjoyed her many dart shoots with the girls. Gladys loved to travel to Fredericton to play Bingo and could not resist any card game. Her favorite place in the summer was her trailer. She spent as many hours as possible relaxing at the lake. She loved for her family and friends to visit her there. Gladys is survived by her brothers Harold and Alta Hodgin of Alberton, PE, Leonard and Barbara Hodgin of Saint John, NB, Donald and Dawn Hodgin of Vernon, BC, Robert and Anita Hodgin of Hampton, NB; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and special friends Christine Hamilton and her son Liam.
