Gladys Darlene Roseman Lewis, 92, of Gloucester, died on Dec. 21, 2020 surrounded by loving family at Walter Reed Hospital. She was born on May 10, 1928 in Salisbury, North Carolina. Gladys left rural North Carolina to live with family in Portsmouth, Virginia, shortly after her school days in 1944. There Gladys met her loving and devoted husband, Glenn W. Lewis. Gladys and Glenn were married on Oct. 6, 1945. The Lewis family traversed the United States, following Glenn’s military career, and ultimately retired in Gloucester. Gladys worked as a Civil Service employee garnering multiple service awards and accolades for 20+ years at local federal installations, retiring at Yorktown Naval Weapons Station in 1993. After retiring, Gladys loved her demo gigs (suited her servant heart), friendship and family. Gladys lived a full life, as a loving wife with an affectionate motherly disposition.
