Fay Barbara (Lane) Gluck of Waukon, formerly of California, died Monday, December 14, 2009, two days after celebrating her 83rd birthday. She passed away quietly at Veterans Memorial Hospital among family and friends, after a long illness. The family has elected not to have funeral services at this time.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Russell and Barbara Lane; four sisters, Vernie, Ardyce, Florence and Jacquelin; four brothers, Earl, Jessie (Jay), Claudie, and Russie; her beloved daughter, Cindy Sue Perez; and her beloved son, Randy Durwin Bernatz.

Fay was born at home, in the small town of Dorchester. She was the “baby” of the large family, and is the last member of her immediate family. She is survived by her beloved husband of 52 years, Gilbert Ronald Gluck of Waukon, whom she married in 1957. Fay and Gil were married in West Union in a civil ceremony. They enjoyed their golden 50th wedding anniversary two years ago, and a love that lasted 56 long, beautiful years together.

Fay’s favorite hobby was gardening and tending to her yard. She loved hunting snails at night and the grandchildren enjoyed it, too. Fay loved to walk along the beach and collect rocks. She also collected Barbies and proudly displayed them in her doll room.

Other survivors include her children, Candice Mannette and Kim Bernatz; 10 grandchildren, Erica Fay, Brittany Sue-Marie, Tanis Fay, Derek, Ashley, Ryan, Drew, Katie, Rusty and Richard; 11 great-grandchildren, Haley Candice, Peyton, Bennett, Brandon, Courtney, Cory, Casey, Elisa, Russell, Glenda and Cindy.
