Gladys was a proud employee of Bettis Atomic Plant where she maintained several lifelong friendships with coworkers. She was a wonderful homemaker and devoted mother. She was an avid cook and loved to entertain. The most important thing to her was that there was plenty of food and that everyone had something to eat.
