Gladys retired in 1997 from Hughes Nursing home where she worked as a cook.
Until February 2017, when she was hit by a drunk driver and badly injured, Gladys was active within her church and local community: visiting sick and shut-ins; driving many family and friends to various appointments; and baby-sitting her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her great-grandchildren were the light of her life.
Gladys is survived by her daughter, Juanita Hayner (Ed) and son Michael Armstrong (Janet); grandson James Hayner (Jennifer) and granddaughter Jennifer Hayden (Jared) and six great-grandchildren; sisters Grace Pearson and Lola Cheek; brothers William Armstrong (Virginia) and James Armstrong (Carol); and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, James F. Armstrong; and sisters Ruth Pearson, Ellen Graninger, and Katherine Presti.
A service will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 23 at Covenant Funeral Service, Stafford chapel. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow in Ramoth Baptist Church Cemetery.
If anyone would like to make a donation in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Fredericksburg Seventh-day Adventist Church and/or Tree of Life Christian Preparatory School.
Covenant Funeral Services of Stafford were in charge of arrangements.
