On Nov. 20, 1949, she married Paul Lovick at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Grafton. They farmed near Joice and Ventura before settling on the home place near Forest City in 1956. Gladys worked at furniture stores in Forest City and Clear Lake.

Gladys enjoyed travel. During their marriage they had many wonderful trips and made many wonderful friends. They enjoyed their time spent on the Hawaiian Islands and the Caribbean cruises. They especially enjoyed the family vacations, many of which were fishing trips.

Gladys was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Forest City and was active in the wedding circle. She volunteered much time to school activities and led a fund drive for new band uniforms. Gladys was also an avid fan at the Forest City High School softball and basketball games and rarely missed a game.
