Obituary for Gladys L. Parker Russell (Sheets)
Gladys L. Parker Russell, 74, of Plainfield, passed away peacefully at The Gathering Together on April 2, 2018 surrounded by her family. She was born on May 24, 1943 to James Howard and Zula May (Shane) Sheets in Morgan County, Indiana. She married Gerald Russell on May 2, 1998 after losing her first husband, George M. Parker.
Gladys was a 1961 graduate of Clayton High School. She lived in Hendricks County for most of her life, was a proud homemaker and a member of Hazelwood Christian Church.
Gladys always put everyone else first and her love for her family was unconditional. She never wanted to miss any of her grandchildren's events. She was a master at multi-tasking and an immaculate house keeper. Gladys also enjoyed camping, playing cards and cooking for her family.

She is preceded in death by her parents; first husband, George M. Parker; two brothers; and three sisters.
