In 1966 mom met the Solls family from Scarsdale NY, and later emigrated to the USA in 1967, to work for them as a housekeeper. Mom work for various families in Scarsdale and New Rochelle on her days off.

Gladys was a loving caring mother to all her family and a compassionate
person to everyone she meet.

Mom love to cook, sew, Knit and bake the best pone or great cake you have ever eaten. We all still speak about the warm salt bread (Kaiser rolls) we enjoyed.

In 1995 she retired and travel yearly between Barbados and the USA. Whiles in Barbados she landscape all the gardens around our home, she planted vegetables and flowers. All the while reminding me that you cannot eat flowers you must plant food as well. We converse on many subjects. Mom reminded me when she was in Barbados last where ever she dies that is where her burial should be.

All her family and friends from Barbados send their condolences.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory. We all love you and will miss you
dearly.
