Kindess most family loving person I ever worked with. Heaven is smiling for the Queen.. she is truly missed
I am deeply saddened to hear of my cousins death. My father Tab was her uncle and she was always so kind to my wife and I when we came to visit. Cousin Gladys was the epitome of Southern hospitality. I am so thankful we we’re able to reconnect in our older years. She was a true lady and a kind and gentle soul. We look forward to the fulfillment of God’s promise found at John 5:28,29. Much love to all the family down in Crossville from Ken & Jane Ward, MIchigan
On January 17th the good Lord called an angel on earth home. When I moved here from Arizona, I was blessed to have Gladys as a neighbor. She was so helpful and kind.
I remember her bringing over a basket of fresh vegetables from her garden to share the first fruits of her labor. She loved her garden and was a master canner. Most of all she loved her family and always shared a story or a picture. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time. Until me meet agian, sweet Gladys!
