The family emigrated to Canada when Gladys was a small girl. They first came to Toronto then moved to B.C., living in Chilliwack, Qualicum and New Westminster before settling in Vancouver. Miss Harton began working at the Vancouver School Board in 1929, and was purchasing agent, there, for thirty-two years until her retirement in 1961. Her association with St. Mark's Anglican Church, Kitsilano, began in the 1920's. She was a regular churchgoer and participant in a number of the Church's activities and organizations for many years. She taught Sunday School, formed the Church's first Cub pack in 1928 and was a dedicated Akeia for over 40 years. Miss Harton was very active with the Anglican Young People's Association (AYPA).
