Gladys was born to Joseph Wesson and Elsie Littlefair Winter on September 6, 1916 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was the fifth of six children, Joseph Leland, Earl Wesson, Elsie Viola (died at age one 1/2 years), Boyd Irvin, and Shirley Dean. All have preceded her in death.
At age twenty-three, she met Elliot Francis Anderson. They were married in the Salt Lake City Temple on April 16, 1941. Elliot passed away in May 2004. They were blessed with five children: Karla Lorene, Beverly, Evelyn (who passed away from cancer on February 12, 2007), Valane, and Steven Elliot.
Gladys served, taught, and nurtured her family and others in the neighborhood and church; including dishing out a supply of chocolate chip cookies to anyone who came over. Her greatest legacy is her tender innocence that she was able to keep her entire life. Her example of goodness will serve her family well for generations.
Gladys is survived by many, many grand and great-grandchildren.
