Gladys Kingsnorth

Gladys Kingsnorth, aged 89, went to be with her Lord on August 21, 2012. She was preceded in death by her husband Daryl and son John. She will be dearly missed by her family, 3 daughters, Ann (Wayne) Winters of Rancho Santa Fe, CA, Nancy (Paul) Kluzinger of Mt. Pleasant, MI, Sally (Carl) Chandler of Novi, MI, daughter-in-law, Jackie Kingsnorth of Hudsonville, MI, along with thirteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. Gladys was a well known kindergarten teacher in the Northview School System teaching at Oakview Elementary School. Her love of teaching spanned over 25 years. She made it her mission to congratulate her students when they graduated high school by attending open houses or sending cards. Her second love was the piano, and Gladys would play for classrooms, parties, weddings and even the nursing homes. Gladys continued playing the piano up until her passing.
