Gladys passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning, September 29, 2021. Gladys was a native San Diegan, growing up in North Park. She was a member of the Latin Club at her beloved Old Gray Castle, and tested 2nd in the nation in the language. She enjoyed Balboa Park, good books, hot fudge sundaes, Christmas celebrations with all the grandkids and always baseball, especially if the Padres were playing. For many years she worked at San Diego Law Firms as a dedicated Litigation Secretary and Law Firm Manager. Gladys was predeceased by her husband Everett Hood. She leaves behind her son Richard Hood, daughter Cynthia Koppelman, brother Robert Larson and their families. We will miss her gentle grace, wit and optimism.

To Gladys' family,
Gladys was indeed a lovely lady. I knew her best at San Diego High School. She was so pretty, had a sweet smile, a gracious and kind personality. She was friendly. She was very smart. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She was lots of fun. I'm so glad I knew her. I know all of you will miss her a lot, but so glad for the memories we all have of Gladys. My love to you all, nan SDHS Class of 1957.
