Gladys M. Siebert

Gladys Mae Siebert, 87, of Jackson went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau. She was born in September 18, 1928 in Old Appleton, Missouri to Walter and Edna Ruppel Schreiner. She and Earl L. Siebert were married on November 9, 1947 in Uniontown, Missouri. He preceded her in death on May 5, 1986. Gladys was baptized on May 26, 1927 at Grace Lutheran Church in Uniontown and confirmed on April 6, 1941 at Grace Lutheran Church in Uniontown.

In 1946, Gladys and Earl opened Straight Way Services in Jackson. Gladys worked many years at the Jackson Hosiery Mill. She then finished 30 years at Rhodes 101 in Jackson. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and a charter member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary in Jackson. Gladys was on several bowling leagues for years. Maintaining a well-manicured yard was important, yet dancing brought her happiness from childhood and nearly every weekend since. She hosted numerous VFW Auxiliary quilting parties.
