Gladys was born in Sintaluta, SK on July 5, 1924. She was the second eldest of ten children of Alymer and Elizabeth (Hain) Debenham. Gladys married Arthur Edmund (Ted) Box on October 20, 1953. They lived their forty-eight years of married life in Grenfell. Gladys was a strong, independent lady, devoted wife, and dedicated mother and grandmother. She loved growing and arranging flowers, volunteering for the church, playing the piano, but especially encouraging her children and grandchildren to achieve their life’s goals.

Our sincere thanks are extended to the staff of both Aspen Grove and Grenfell Pioneer Home.
