Born July 27, 1924, she was a daughter of the late Percy and Eva Higgins (Stellarton), and the last surviving member of her immediate family. After receiving her early education in Stellarton schools, she went on to serve with the RCAF during the Second World War, and was stationed in Ottawa, Ont. Following her return to Nova Scotia she married Marshall Fraser, raised four children while enjoying knitting, baking, crossword puzzles and reading.

Gladys was a long-standing member of the United Church of Canada and taught Sunday school for many years and also served as Treasurer of the former St. James United Church, Hantsport. She was predeceased by her husband, Marshall (1999); brothers, Dexter and William (Carrie) Higgins; sister, Gwen (Garnet) Moore; sons-in-law, Whit Whytewood and Robert Brunette.
