In addition, her grandson Roger Hyles served ten years in the Army and her grandson, Henry IV, and granddaughter, Kelly, both retired from the Air Force.
She was loved by the staff at Jerseyville Estates as well as her four very special friends who resided there with her, Irene Bowman, Sissy Hansen, Ann Ducey and Joetta Million. She was loved very much by her family and many others along life's journey.
Gladys was a gifted seamstress and was still embroidering and stitching quilts at age 96!

They also would want to especially thank their cousins, Kathy Albrecht and Sherry Williams for helping them through a most difficult time.
