Gladys was an avid gardener and enjoyed collecting antiques. She mastered the art of embroidery and decorated their home with beautiful picturesque scenes, floral pictures, linens and novelty items. She delighted in sharing her lovely pieces with family and friends.

Gladys' family would like to express their appreciation to Arden Court caretakers and Heartland Hospice for their loving attention and care.

In lieu of flowers, the family request remembrances to the Alzheimer's Association, 7400 Louis Pasteur, Suite 100, San Antonio, TX 78229, or the charity of your choice.
