Mrs. Gladys M. Young of St. Louis, Missouri answered the call of her Maker and took the hands of the angels, while in the hospital surrounded by those that loved her, on September 2, 2009.

Gladys confessed her hope in Christ at a young age and was baptized in Arkansas. For her entire life, she was a devoted Christian and loved her Church. Gladys graduated from Minifee High School in Minifee, Arkansas.
