Gladys May Thompson

In 1943 when Gladys was an 18 year old English girl, she met an American GI during WWII. She married this soldier, then moved to a strange country thousands of miles away. They settled in Texas, where they would raise 8 kids in the Heights neighborhood of Houston. In 2010 Gladys lost her hero, her husband Curtis. She has missed him for the last 9 years, but she’s had the support of her abundant family to keep her occupied.

Thompson (Shirley F.), Barbara Church (Joseph), Linda Zientek (Ronald), William John Thompson, James Thompson (Pamela), Marvin Thompson, Lisa Metcalfe (Russell), and Betty Rohan (Brian); 19 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild.
