Gladys is survived by her daughter, Myrna Khalid; her grandchildren, Zina Khalid and Hisham Khalid; and her nephews, Delmar, Glen, Ron and Cameron Brooks, Don and Lorne Kyllo of B.C.

Engaged and engaging till the end, Gladys was known to be nothing short of a phenomenon. She attended Scott Collegiate and Normal School in Regina, met her husband William Zurif, a CPR relief agent, and followed him throughout the province, teaching at various schools. Gladys had a natural gift for music, which along with her faith, was a constant throughout her long, fulfilled life. We will miss her quick wit, her relentless curiosity, and her entertaining stories of a lifetime spent in the prairie towns of Saskatchewan.
