Gladys (Wells) Bouska

Our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother left us on May 1, 2006 to "go home" to be with her Lord. Gladys was affectionately known as "Baby" by her husband; "Gran" by her grandchildren; and in recent months, "Sunshine" by those caring for her. Gladys was born January 19, 1921 in Whitney, TX. Her parents then moved to Cordell, OK where she and her 11 brothers and sisters grew up on a farm. She was always a hard worker and began her successful career in real estate in 1960 and continued for 35 years. She received many accolades and awards for her achievements. Providing for her family was most important but she always found time to work in her garden. She was a charter member of the Redbud Gardens Club for 57 years, together with many cherished friends. They were responsible for planting 500 Redbud trees in Midwest City. Gladys was a member of First Baptist Church in Midwest City.

She married her sweetheart, Don Bouska in 1987 and they resided in Oklahoma City for many years until 1999 when the tornado took their home. Gladys lived her last years with Don in N.W. OKC. She most enjoyed visits from her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She is survived by her husband Don, 2 sons, 1 daughter: Richard Wells and wife Donna, Reggie Wells and wife Vicki, and Beverly Young and husband Jim. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; a stepson, Brendon and wife Karen, and their 2 children; her sister, Vida Prather; and her brother, Presley Jones. We love and miss you - We've really lost our "best friend".
