Gladys joined STAR in 2012 and quickly became a shining star in our Senior Acting Family.  As our beloved matriarch, she was cherished by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.  A generous benefactor of STAR, Gladys graciously opened her beautiful home for rehearsals whenever the need arose, always making everyone feel welcome.

While Gladys loved performing dramatic roles, her comedic performances were legendary.  Her impeccable timing and unforgettable facial expressions brought every scene to life.  We will always remember “I SAW THAT!” in Where’s Your Purse and “DON’T YOU DARE!” in The Cemetery Club. Other memorable roles included the employee in DMV Tyrant, Bristol in Changing Gears and Madam Arcati in Blithe Spirit.

Beyond the stage, Gladys gave tirelessly to STAR.  She served as Chairperson of the Social Committee, represented the membership on the Board, and was always willing to lend a hand backstage when needed. Her dedication, generosity, and unwavering support helped strengthen the organization in countless ways.

Gladys leaves behind a legacy of friendship, laughter, and service. She is deeply missed and will always hold a special place in the hearts of the STAR family.
