Gladys was very devoted to her family and enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gladys loved to sew and mend. At any given time, you would see her sewing machine on her table, ready for her to use. She loved making quilts for everyone in her family; for wedding gifts, welcoming a brand new baby to the family and several other special occasions. She also enjoyed cooking and baking for her family and special occasions, going to their home in Friendship, traveling, playing cards, bingo and gambling.
