I love this photo of Max and Bea Gladish from the St. James Directory with a photo of her daughter Krista behind them. Bea always had hugs and kind words for me when life wasn’t going the right way, and I miss seeing her in the front left hand pew at church. Max would sometimes whisper softly to me in church asking for a pie or something for a fundraiser. What I guess I missed was that she was quite the artist and we are looking for some information if you can help.
This morning I got an email from her granddaughter, Andy Penson. I told her that I knew her Grandmother well and I knew we could all send some love and maybe some information to her.
Hi!
I thought I’d be able to post in this group. I was looking for information about my grandmothers paintings. I know she painted a lot and has many paintings through out Carlton Place but I don’t have any myself! I was hoping to learn more about my grandmother and see what paintings she has out there. Her name was Beatrice Gladish. She went by Bea, but I don’t know how she signed her paintings. She lived in Carlton Place and lived with my grandfather Max Gladish.
She was an amazing person!! She really taught me about love and community, but wasn’t painting much since I’ve been around. We miss her so much. Thank you for posting this! –Andy Penson
