Gladys Lenora (Cooper) (McPhail) Kuhn was born at Brush, Colorado, on a cattle ranch eight miles southeast of town, on April 2, 1920. Her parents were John Newton Cooper and Dessie Delilah (Krieg) Cooper. She passed away at San Jacinto, California on December 23, 1994. She married Preston Brewer McPhail in 1935, and had five children from this marriage, two dying as infants and one killed in a train accident in 1941. Two surviving daughters are the eldest, Frances Eileen (McPhail) Thomas, Pennsauken, New Jersey, and Karen Louise (McPhail) Markwell, Meeker, Oklahoma.

In the mid 1960's, she married Bill Kuhn, of Long Beach, California. She was a licensed practical nurse, a graduate of St. Anthony's School of Nursing, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and worked at a number of hospitals in California for many years before retiring.

She and her husband moved to Hemet, California, where he survives her at their home. She has one living brother Carl Cooper, Lawton, Oklahoma, and one sister, Lura Mae Suttle, Duncan, Oklahoma. It was Mrs. Kuhn's personal desire and request that no memorials be held for her, that her body be cremated and her ashes cast into the ocean.

She will always be remembered as a considerate and unselfish friend to many people, a kind and generous person, a faithful mother and wife, loved well by all that knew her, and life will be emptier for everyone who misses her.
