Gladys was born November 15, 1916 to Herman and Augusta Schultz Lenz. Gladys was the youngest of 11 children. She spent her early years on a farm in the German Settlement area. She married Dick Ira Kluckman on her birthday in 1941. She was a member of Markesan United Methodist Church and a member of the Eastern Star.

All who believe in God’s mercy and grace
Will meet their loved ones face to face.
Where time is endless and joy unbroken
And only the words of God’s love are spoken.
