Gladys Louise Wallace, a beloved mother and grandmother, passed away on January 27, 2026, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, at the age of 72. She was born on September 7, 1953, in Lindsay, Oklahoma to Leon and Vera (Brown) Stone.

Gladys dedicated a part of her career as a factory worker at Carlisle, where her unwavering commitment and work ethic exemplified her character. However, her true passion lay in her family, whom she adored fiercely. She devoted herself to her children, Jeffrey, Christina, Dalinda, and Karmin, fostering a loving home filled with laughter and support.

In her leisure time, Gladys found happiness at the senior center, where she formed deep connections and shared many cherished moments with friends.

Shopping was also a favored pastime, where she would spend countless hours looking for just the right bargain.
