I am so sorry to learn about Gladys. Met her in high school and we were together in home room as our last names were close to each other at the time. She was a very nice person. I did not realize she was working in Zion years ago. I may have called on that office when a sales rep at that time. She will be missed by many.

Al,I was so very saddened to hear of Gladys' passing. I remember both you and Gladys fondly from my very first days at Zion-Benton. She was always a warm, caring and wonderful woman. I also remember quite well a sock hop that my husband and I attended where Gladys sang as one of the Supremes. It was a wonderful time.Please know Al that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope all your wonderful memories will help you in this very sad time.

To: Alan, Lisa and Lori. I am so sorry to learn of Gladys passing. I was a co-worker with both Al and Gladys at ZBTHS for more than 20 years. They both were dedicated and hardworking educators who cared greatly about the education of young people. Alan and Gladys had a great life together, traveling and just enjoyed being together. Today we celebrate Gladys' life and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest In Peace. Gladys. Rick and Melnee Kasper

Lisa, Lori & Alan, So sorry to learn of Gladys passing. I enjoyed watching you 2 grow up and babysitting for your mom. Nanny has a recent broken arm and is in unstable health, but I know she sends her love to you all. Your mom was a good friend to our family, a blessing to those who knew her. She will be missed by many.

Mom,I love you so much. You were the strongest women I've ever met. You endured more than anyone should have to in a lifetime. I learned all the necessities for life from you, and I'm so thankful. You will continue to inspire me always. I'm find great comfort in knowing you loved Jesus with all your heart. I know you are with Him forever and I will see you again. Love,Lori
