Obituary

With a great sense of completion and a final sigh of "At last..," Donna Lou Gladney passed away on the morning of 07Jan26 in Baytown, Texas. She was born on 03Jun36 to Ann Louise Williams and Donald Bruce McAllister. Their youngest, Donna Lou, was Victor's sister and Robert's half-sibling. On 01Jan52, Donna married William Henry Gladney just days before he shipped off to the Korean peninsula. Upon his return, they had their daughter, Victoria, and four years later, Donna Kaye. Having survived all those previously mentioned, Donna Lou, the last of her generation, was the aunt of Bobbie, R (Wayne), R (William), Stuart, Jeff, Bruce, Victoria, Colin, Elizabeth, and the grandmother of Morgan and Will. A self-described tomboy, she crafted Justin Boots, met Elvis and Dolly Parton, entertained hundreds alongside the number one Budweiser draft beer salesman on the planet, ran the Fort Worth Ben E. Keith distributorship IT shop, and administered the Granbury, Texas, newspaper. She will be fervently remembered by her evil cat Baxter and grand-dogs Naiad and Kerberos.
