quite suddenly after a short
illness
on August 31st, 1975 at the Greater Community Hospital in Creston.
Gladys
was united in marriage to Glen Routh on Dec. 14,

wedding anniversary in 1971 with
many

to those
who
are deeply mourning the loss of a very dear person all the friends and
particularly those who were friends of her children and grandchildren, and
looked on her as an extra
mother
and grandmother. Far too many to count are the young who affectionately called
her "Grandma Gladys."
An
"outdoors person" she was never happier than in her old farmer
clothes doing her chores, always doing more than her share and keeping up with
the youngest. One of her
greatest
joys was having a crowd of relatives or friends around to feed and to fuss
over. And more than anything she enjoyed her grandchildren and great
grandchildren, always
more
than willing and able to babysit. This was one of the joys that kept her young
and happy until the day God called her home.
