Her presence brought comfort to those around her, and she had a smile that was contagious.

Gladys is survived by her son Aaron Norris and wife Vicki; brothers Roy Baker, Jr. and wife Phyllis, Archie Baker and wife Geraldean; 7 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild; along with several nieces and nephews. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
