Born and raised in New Jersey, Gladys worked as a librarian at the Fairfield Public Library before retiring and relocating to South Carolina. She was a longtime member of First Baptist Church Landrum, where she served on the prayer team, volunteered at Operation Hope and taught a ladies Sunday School class.  Gladys also served as president of both her Christian Women’s Club and the Garden Club, and later was instrumental in founding a Veteran’s Garden Park in Landrum. She loved the Lord Jesus, and even participated in a new church plant in South Carolina in her early eighties. Her favorite Bible verse was Psalm 121: 1-2.
