Mrs. Gladys E. Underwood

July 4, 1941 - June 25, 2018

“Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praised her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.” Proverbs 31:25-30 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gladys was born Friday, July 4, 1941, in Charlottesville, Virginia, daughter of the late Roy Lewis and the late Gladys E.
