It is with great sadness that the family of Gloria Sask (nee Carlstad), longtime resident of Grande Prairie, AB, announces her passing on Saturday, May 15, 2021, at the age of 64 years.

Gloria was born on July 9, 1956, to Ruth and Ordian Carlstad and raised on the family farm in Valhalla, AB. She attended Valhalla School, Hythe Junior High, and graduated from the Beaverlodge Regional High School.

Gloria worked at several businesses in Grande Prairie after graduating. She owned her own small vending machine business for nine years. Gloria always overcame her health issues and made everyone feel special. She was very reserved until she got to know you. Her infectious smile and laugh will be remembered by all who knew her. Gloria’s love for cats always had a special place in her heart.
