Gladys Kessler Obituary
After graduating from St. Mary's High School in Waterloo, Iowa, Gladys moved to Illinois where she met her husband, Ken. On December 9, 1961, they were united in marriage and had two sons, Michael and Bryan.
After retiring from Navistar International Co in 1995, Ken and Gladys moved to Venice, Florida. They spent their summers in Hayward, Wisconsin and the rest of the year travelling. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Ken and their two sons: Mike (Sharlene) Kessler and Bryan (Daniela) Kessler; along with 3 grandchildren: Victoria (Michael) Einbinder; Olivia (Noah) Verges and Brad Kessler and 5 great grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her 3 brothers and 4 sisters.
