The Lindstrom family is sorry for your loss. We were still receiving cards for Gladys at her old address and just know that every single one we received, we brought to Deerfield. The most recent one being a card a couple weeks ago from Alaska! To all the family and friends that sent cards to her old address, please know that Gladys received all of them!♥️
Thank you for delivering the cards!

Gladys was a highlight of the GCHS Lunch room in the 80’s and 90’s – Her spunk and smile was the best part of our day. Also the extra slice of homemade bread she and Mrs. Booth provided was always warm and yummy. She used to tell us she loved us kids (back then) and we believed what she said. RIP Gladys –
The Rasmussen and Halverson families were lucky to have Chuck & Gladys as neighbors in Glenwood City for many, many years. Gladys was a constant fixture in our lives. She always had a smile, a loving heart, and something to tell you. And, she was never afraid to tell you what she thought. She treated our children and our grandchildren as if they were her own. They were all saddened by her passing.
I can imagine Gladys and Chuck, Toni and Willert, along with Barb getting together for a game of cards!
For my loving sister, Gladys: I will always remember our lives on the farm. You taught me how to cook, drive a car and how to take care of your babies (with a few mistakes I made that you forgave me for). I’m looking forward to seeing you again in the by and by with all our family. God bless you and may you rest in peace. I miss you. Love, your sister, wood tick the brat, Beverly
Loved Gladys(Chuck) and family. She was always there, watching, helping, gardening and baking! All of us kids up on the hill played, ran and Gladys, Jeanette and Evie were there telling us yes or no, and we listened! Gladys tell all our parents hello and we love y’all very much!
I am just learning of her passing. I have so much grief at this time. She lived longer than all of my grandparents and parents. She was very special to me as a child. Grandma Darlene and I would often go to her house and visit her. It was just the 3 of us spending time together. Seeing her at my father’s funeral and hearing her speak of him, I will always remember what she said.
Aunt Gladys, I love you and I will miss you.
Dearest Aunt Gladys, your life was a blessing to us, your memory is a treasure. Love, Your niece, Kim
Gladys was a great friend,we worked together many years in school,she was so talented as I have ceramic items she made for me -willl miss our phone calls ,rest in peace dear friend
