To every one who knew Gladys knows a special person has left this world.My whole family knew Gladys for years.She was one of the hardest workers too.I remember how she and Lou Ellis would be down at Summers Chevrolet late at night while Glays was finishing up the days work.
Gladys was a true lady in ever sense.When our Mother had cancer Gladys and Lou Ellis were very compassionate.They saw my children grow up, they were honary Grannys in a way to them.

We are going to miss her. We loved her
she was a lovely person very kind hearted. Aunt Gladys. She would always remember all of her nieces and nephews
and their children and grandchildren. She was always giving candy to my daughter at Halloween. Betsy always will remember that. But, most of all
we will remember her sweet nature.
