As an avid columnist of the Fort Bend Herald for 40 years, Gladys never met a stranger. She enjoyed quilting, making crafts, canning, gardening, and baking for her family and friends. She was a devout Lutheran, a member of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Post 350, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary Post 3903, the proud wife of a veteran, and belonged to the Women of the Church Afternoon Circle at the First English Lutheran Church of Damon. Always the first to assist those in need, she will be sorely missed by her family and friends. Memorial contributions may be made to the VFW Post 3903 in support of our troops, or to the Women of the Church Afternoon Circle of the First English Lutheran Church in Damon, in lieu of flowers.
