Reilly of North Smithfield, Rhode Island; sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles Hart of Carrollton, Missouri; and many very special nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In the time since the foregoing obituary was written, John R. Reilly, among Mrs. Bunge's named survivors, has since died. He is interred at Ebenezer Cemetery with his wife Donna Bunge Reilly.
Pallbearers for Mrs. Bunge included her two grandsons and other family members: Brad Cully, Justin Cully, Jeff Still, James Hart, Robert Hart, and Glen Berning.
Over the years, Gladys Bunge participated in a variety of business and employment experience. She and her husband Virgil managed the Gamble's Store in Carrollton, Missouri, during the late 1950's and early 1960's. She also worked in the Carroll County Memorial Hospital for many years, and she worked in the Mary Ann Flower Shop as well.
A woman with a strong sense of right and wrong as well as being blessed with gracious generosity, Gladys often stated how grateful she was to her brother James Hart, who left high school early to work and help their father make money to pay for school tuition so that she and their brother Charles could finish school and graduate at Bogard.
During the 1920's Gladys's family rented the farm and lived in the house belonging to John G. Smithpeter, located five miles north of Bogard. This farm was later purchased by her brother James in 1954. Over the years this writer enjoyed immensely hearing the family stories Gladys and her brothers shared about their years in that house, which is no longer standing.
Among those stories was an anecdote of their mother Nora Hart breaking up a "play party" Gladys was having with friends when one of the guests, who brought a violin, struck up some music for dancing in the kitchen. On hearing the music from the front of the house, Nora appeared at the kitchen door with a stern look on her face, proclaiming, "We'll have no dancing in this house!" And so the dancing ceased. Another often told anecdote involved the youngest brother Charles pouring molasses on the stairs to "get even" with his brothers when they went upstairs in the dark to go to bed. In the telling, the point of the revenge was always lost in the laughter of telling about their father Robert's annoyance and Charles's having to clean up the mess.
