GLADYS L. (BAHLERT) STRAUB
Gladys Straub, 101, of Lee’s Summit, passed away Tuesday, October 30th, 2012. A private memorial service will be held by the family at a later time.
Gladys was born March 8th, 1911 in Brooklyn New York to Frederick and Lily Anna (Stucky) Bahlert. As a child she was school in New York. Her best known childhood memory was singing for war bonds during World War I. Gladys was a strong figure of determination for the family. She raised two girls in Connecticut. She retired from work at 2nd National Bank of Connecticut in 1973. She lived with her daughter, who deeply cared for Gladys, since 2004 in Lee’s Summit, MO. Gladys enjoyed living life to the fullest and being with people. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed by all. Gladys will be remembered always for her thoughtful and caring nature, but above all for her optimism. Gladys was a woman who always saw the glass half full.
