Gove resident Gladys (McClellan) Anglin passed away Thursday, August 27, 2015 at Gove County Medical Center. She was 104 years of age. Gladys was born June 29, 1911, in Willow Springs, Missouri, to Charles Samuel and Sarah Elizabeth (Lochmiller) McClellan.
Gladys was a graduate of Willow Springs High School. On October 21, 1939, she was united in marriage to Clarence Luke Anglin, in Cabool, Missouri. The couple moved to Gove County in the early 1940’s, where they farmed and raised cattle for many years. Luke passed away on November 19, 2003. They had enjoyed 64 wonderful years of marriage together. Gladys was very active in her church, volunteering her time for anything that was needed. She loved her garden, and was known in her family as an expert markswoman. Any varmint that threatened her garden didn’t stand a chance! She loved to spend time watching and listening to different types of birds. One of the fondest memories family has of Gladys is the time spent gathered around the piano singing. Gladys adored her family. She was blessed with the gift of longevity, as she lived at home, independently, up until just shortly before her passing. She will be dearly missed.
Survivors include her daughter, Judy Tucker of Gove; three grandsons, Whitney and wife Wendy of Gove, Lincoln and wife Becky of Gove, and Jesse and wife Jen of Gove; and four great-grandchildren, Mary, Marsha, Larsen, and Westen. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; son-in-law, Leonard; eleven siblings; and two half siblings.
Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m., Monday, August 31, 2015 at Gove Community Bible Church, Gove. Burial will be in the Gove Cemetery.
