Gladys was the spark and guiding force for her family for many years. Not only did she love us all, she kept us well fed with her wonderful food and warm with her special “TV socks”. Her charm, wit and exuberance will be remembered by all who knew her. She radiated warmth and sincerity, had a kind word for everyone she met and served as an inspiration to us all. Everyone loved “Gladie” singing and dancing at every party, expertly dealing the cards and entertaining us with countless stories from her past. She will always be loved and her memory cherished.
Gladys grew up on the south side of Milwaukee attending: St. Stanislaus grade school, South Division High School and Stratton Business College. She loved to travel, cook, bake, sew, crochet, garden, read and being with her grandchildren.
