Gladys Pokrant, 85, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2024, at Luther Home.
She was preceded by husband Lawrence (Larry); parents, Howard and Vera Lake; siblings, Jean (John), Harold (Ethel) and Kerley (Ruby). Gladys is survived by Hollis (Margaret); children, Janice (Andrew), Randy (Linda), Rick (Jodi); grandchildren, Aliya (Alex), Ashton, Justin (Janaya), Braiden, Daria, Emily and Hannah; great-grandchild Athena, and numerous cherished nieces and nephews.
Born August 15, 1938, in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, she pursued nursing in Halifax and specialized in Nursing Psychology in Boston. A chance encounter in northern Canada led her to her husband Larry. They settled in Winnipeg, where Gladys worked at various health care facilities before retiring as head nurse at Middle Church Nursing Home. She cherished her Lutheran faith, friendships, and family.
A funeral service will be held on February 21, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at Sherwood Park Church. Contributions to Alzheimer’s Society of Canada or Lutheran World Relief are appreciated. The family also wants to thank the staff at Luther home for the love and support they provided.

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Pokrant's passing. I have very fond childhood memories of the Pokrant family on Knowles Avenue. We were fortunate to have them as neighbors. We are honoured that you mentioned our Mom's name, Kveta, in the obituary, as one of Glady's long time friends. Thinking of all of you at this very sad time, and sending our deepest condolences. Cherish all of the memories and keep them close to your hearts. - Posted by: Nora (Matousek)and Carl Duguid (former neighbour from Knowles ave) on: Feb 20, 2024
