Gladys was employed for 37 years at a local bank where she enjoyed working with the very special ladies there who were like sisters to her. She loved meeting with her friends and seeing her old customers. She enjoyed flower gardening, riding her dog Buddy around in the golf cart, cooking, reading, writing memoirs and being a farmer’s wife and mother. She enjoyed working on the farm with Earl and Gene. She was very dedicated to having late-night meals prepared for her men when they came home from working on hay or livestock issues.
