Earlier in her life, Gladys worked as a cosmetologist and owned her own salon. Later in life, she worked in retail and managed a card shop. She was a beautiful artist and loved painting, doing many types of crafts and hobbies, putting together puzzles, crocheting, sewing and was an excellent gardener. She also loved sunrise & sunset walks on the beach, and especially long strolls in the country with her family and beloved dog Mia. She felt great joy and pride to be around her grandchildren and would cherish every laugh and hug. Gladys was a wonderful Christian woman who was devoted to God and to her family. She was dearly loved by them and will be deeply missed. A Memorial Service will be held in West Virginia at a later date.
