Gladys enjoyed her long-time relationships with Diane Garber-Cardwell, Dayton Garber, Gini Garber, who passed in 2017, David Garber, Kathy Wallace, and daughter-in-law, Tamela Rader. Gladys lived her life with a strong Christian faith, participated in many church activities, and taught Sunday school. She was gifted with a beautiful, soprano voice, and her most favorite song to sing was "How Great Thou Art." Throughout her life, she was a name-requested soloist at church events and revivals. She was active in her children's school and local community activities, including home room mom, parent-teacher organization president, 4-H leader/advisor, and the American Legion's Auxiliary. Gladys loved to do word circle puzzles and eat popcorn. Gladys retired from the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. She studied Social Work at Ohio University in Athens. Gladys' joyous attitude and infectious laughter will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Gladys' family wants to send appreciation to the amazing staff at Springfield Masonic Home, for their outstanding care during the past 10 years. The family also wants to send appreciation to the staff at Crossroads for their special and immediate support during her last days.
