Gladys was a longtime resident of Trenton where she worshipped and served at Christ Episcopal Church. She worked as a bookkeeper at several car dealerships in the Princeton area. Gladys travelled a number of times to Bermuda and Europe with her siblings and was always up for an adventure. She was an avid golfer and Phillies fan. Most of all, Gladys enjoyed laughter and friendship. She was always independent and witty. Many thanks go to those at the Evergreens who cared for her as her family.
