Gladys Berry

Our mother, grandmother, friend, and companion, Gladys Clark Berry, left us peacefully on June 23. 2014 at the age of 89 years. She was born in Grand Cane, LA on March 1, 1925 to Arnold and Willie Elizabeth Clark. She grew up in Gladewater, TX and married Alton Berry before moving to Dallas in 1950.

Survivors include 3 daughters, Patricia Kozak, Michal Thompson and husband, Kirk, and Katharine Wysong and her late husband, Jim. Grandchildren, Sean Stone and wife Kathleen, Erin Wysong, Jay Wysong and wife, Cherrie, and Shelley Neustupa and husband, Brad, savor fond memories and lessons learned. Her 8 great-grandchildren were all boys. Her companion, William J. Boes will miss her loyalty, love, and devotion. Her great love for all animals, especially her dogs, Jason, Boes and Joe will always be remembered.

Tennis was a favorite pastime as well as snow skiing and book club. Expressions of her could be seen in her artwork and piano playing. Above all, she loved opera and all other types of music. Her old friends from Carrollton and Farmers Branch, and her new friends at The Forum at Park Lane were all cherished. She was a long time member of Brookhaven Church and most recently, Park Cities Baptist Church.

A Celebration of Life will be in the Ellis Chapel at Park Cities Baptist Church, 3933 Northwest Parkway, Dallas, TX 75225 at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, June 25, 2014.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the SPCA of Texas. Online condolences may be made at www.Sparkman-Hillcrest.com.
