Gladys was born on March 11, 1917, to Ernest and Lena Wagner. She attended schools in Portland, Maine, and completed her teaching certificate at Gorham Normal school. She completed her B.A. at Gorham State Teachers College. She loved to relate, that in the early days, she rode the trolley to school. On June 19, 1940, she married the love of her life, Donald D.

In spite of her hardships, she was always willing to help others. Gladys was a member of the West Scarborough United Methodist church for many years, serving on many committees, and volunteered her time and talent generously. She never had idle hands, enjoying knitting, crocheting and quilting. After her retirement from teaching, she continued to be an active volunteer in the community. She tutored, volunteered at the Red Cross, and was involved with the order of the Eastern Star. She was active in the Scarborough Historical Society and Scarborough Senior Center.
