The Calgary Ostomy Society is saddened to announce the passing of Gloria Reid on April 16.

Gloria was a beloved long-time member, volunteer, and supporter, who lived with an ostomy for 55 year

To honour Gloria’s memory and her deep love for children, demonstrated through her 28 years as a dedicated preschool teacher, we invite you to make a memorial donation to the Calgary Ostomy Society. Proceeds will specifically support the Ostomy Youth Camp, a cause that was close to our hearts and one that we know would have meant a great deal to Gloria. Thank you for helping us celebrate her life and legacy meaningfully.

Gloria’s funeral will be held on April 24 at 11:00 am at the Holy Cross Anglican Church. To view the details and obituary, please click here.
