Gladys Beatrice Juveland
(October 7, 1912 - September 22, 2012)

Gladys B. Juveland, age 99, of Lake Mills, died Saturday, September 22, 2012, at the Lake Mills Care Center in Lake Mills, Iowa.

Gladys Beatrice Martinson Juveland was born October 7, 1912, on the Martinson Homestead in the log house that her grandfather built in Norway township, Winnebago County, Iowa, the daughter of Johanna Holstad and Henry I. Martinson. She was baptized at Lime Creek Lutheran Church, rural Emmons, and confirmed at Salem Lutheran Church.

On February 27, 1935, she married Melvin Gerhardt Juveland at the parsonage in Forest City, Iowa, the Rev. J. A. M. Hinderlie officiating. Melvin died in 1989. To this union, four sons were born, Donavon, Roger, Ardell and Earl.

Gladys enjoyed the outdoors, helping with the farm chores. She also enjoyed baking and would have goodies on hand when friends and neighbors dropped by for lunch and visits. In her later years, she couldn’t miss Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune.

She is survived by her sons, Donovan, Roger (Carol), and Earl (special friend Evelyn); her grandchildren, Tamera (Mark) Alphs, Todd (Misty) Juveland, and Kristin (Dean) Colby; her great-grandchildren, Donald Holtan, Jason (Abby) Holtan, Christopher (fiancée Lucia Rose) Alphs, Jessica and Jordan Colby, and Johanna, Annika and Bjorn Juveland; and her great-great-grandchildren, Kaylie, Alyssa, Chelsey, Madison, Becca and Tori Holtan.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Johanna Martinson; her brothers, Ingvald (Pearl) Martinson and George Martinson; her husband, Melvin; her son, Ardell; her daughters-in-law, Louella, Edna, and Lorraine Juveland; and a granddaughter, Nancy and her husband Terry Holtan.

Gladys will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Blessed be her memory.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, September 26, 2012, at Salem Lutheran Church in Lake Mills with Pastor Denise Anderson officiating. Burial will take place in Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery, rural Scarville, Iowa.

Visitation will be on Tuesday, September 25, 2012, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the Mittelstadt Funeral Home, 902 East Main Street, Lake Mills, and will continue one hour prior to services at the church on Wednesday.
