Gladys? time in West Virginia was spent raising her children, being a Girl Scout and Cub Scout leader for her children and countless others. Gladys was selected to be the first Den Leader?s Coach in the country by the Boy Scouts of America. As the Den Leader?s Coach, she further shared her talents as a scout leader by training other parents to be successful scout leaders. Gladys was an avid supporter of McKinley Jr. High and St. Albans High School majorettes, bands and athletic programs.

After her children were grown, she realized a lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. She worked at Thomas Memorial Hospital where she was a member of the pharmacology committee. After ?retiring? to Florida, Gladys worked at several nursing homes. She was never one to sit still. When she finally did retire, Gladys and Walter traveled all around the globe. When she was not traveling, she took pleasure playing Mahjong with her friends. Her greatest source of joy was always being with her family.
