To the Bierling Families
Gladys was a great lady always smiling and so pleasant. Remember her years ago behind the meat counter at A&H
always getting the girls to come around the corner of the meat counter to get a piece of bologna each time we grocery
shopped. And in the later years at Queensway for the church services and social events that took place regularly in
the basement. She did not need the hymn book to sing to the music. May her smiles and generosity be carried on through those who will treasure her memories as they journey forward. Indeed a life well-lived. Deepest Sympathy
Marion (Thomson) McCarter and girls

We were saddened to learn of Glady’s passing….so many great memories of her over the decades. Know that the last little while was more difficult for her, but whenever visiting Mom (Irene Finkbeiner) we would also have a little visit with Gladys who in the latter months shared a room with Mom. She was always so very pleasant with everyone ….will remember her singing along with all the words to the songs at music events at Queensway … enjoying the entertainment to the fullest!
With sympathy,
Judy (Finkbeiner) and Barry Johnson & Irene Finkbeiner.
