Gladys Mobley Obituary
SHREVEPORT, LA - There will be a private graveside service for the family of Gladys Krouse Mobley on Monday, March 25, 2013 at Forest Park Cemetery, St. Vincent Avenue.
Gladys was born on March 13, 1920 in Minden, LA and was a resident of Shreveport, LA for most of her life. She passed away on March 22, 2013 at the age of 93.
Gladys Letitia Krouse Mobley was born March 13, 1920 in Minden, Louisiana to Gertrude Langheld Krouse and Frank O. Krouse. She is the granddaughter of one of the founders of The Germantown colony, Dr. Francis Otto Krouse. She grew up on her family's farm in Minden with her two sisters and five brothers. She attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where she met and married O. B. Mobley, Jr. in 1947. Gladys served in our country's military during World War II, owned and operated an interior design business and was an avid gardener.
She was preceded in death by her husband O. B. Mobley, Jr., her sisters Elsie Hock and Edith Simpson, and brothers Prescott, Pierce, and Rupert Krouse. She is survived by daughter Penne Mobley and son Greg Mobley, and his wife Jane; grandchildren Jason Namie, Renee Counts and her husband Nathan, Briggs Mobley and his wife Nancy; and great-grandchildren Carmen Namie and Avery Buehl; and brothers Otto Krouse and J. L. Krouse and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express their thanks and gratitude to the staff at the Woolf Cottage at The Glen for their loving care of Gladys while she was a resident there. In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorials be made to the Friends of the Germantown Colony Museum or the charity of the donor's choice.

Glad Mobley was one of the biggest-hearted people I have ever known. She could be a real joy to be with and had a wonderful sense of humor; she was unfailing honest and a loyal and faithful friend. It has been my great pleasure to know her and call her friend.

Another first cousin gone, but not forgotten. Our families were connected with deep roots and we were blessed to have the love and support they gave us in our youth.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to our Sister in Arms, Gladys Letitia Krouse Mobley. To her family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Gladys. And to Gladys it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank her for her dedicated and selfless service she rendered to her country during WW-II while serving as a woman volunteer in the U. S. Armed Forces. Gladys, you are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Gladys's family and loved ones.
