She was quite the character; my favorite story is when visiting SD she was going through all the cabinets in Grandma's kitchen. My mother asked what she was looking for and she replied, "I'm looking for something to DRINK." Mom replied there was wonderfully cold artesian water to be had. Gladys stated, "Water rusts my pipes; I'm looking for something to DRINK."
Mom nicknamed her "Pipes" after that!
(Mom and Grandma were teetotalers.)
