Daughter of Edward Francis "Edy" Linderman & Gudrun Ivara "Gud" Lund Linderman, of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa.
Baptized as Lutheran on November 11, 1906 in Winona, Minnesota. Gladys liked to be called Glady and preferred Serena instead of Serene.
Wife of Roy Leonard Nelson, Sr. Married: 20 November 1926 in Dubuque, Iowa.
Mother of Roy Leonard "Jimmy" Nelson Jr, Richard Edward "Dickie", & Shirley Lorraine Nelson.
Glady & Roy Sr. were separated in Jan. 1941 in Dubuque, Iowa. Divorced on 15 Sept. 1957 in Dubuque, Iowa. Gladys never remarried.
Glady resided with her Father from 1941 after her Mother died, and cared for him up until his death in 1968, at 705 W. Third Street, Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa.
Great Aunt "Glady" worked as a Proofreader for the Dubuque newspaper, the Dubuque Telegraph Herald until she retired.
Then she sold the Linderman homestead at 705 W. Third Street, Dubuque, Iowa, and moved to Huntington Beach, California to be near her sister, Evelyn "Eppie" (Linderman) Ayala, and brother-in-law, Arturo "Art" Ayala.
Glady always remembered the nieces and nephews, and Great nieces and nephews on our birthdays. We could always count on getting a birthday card from her with some money in it. She couldn't afford much, but we thought that a dime or a quarter was a lot of money, because back then in the 1960's it was. It made me feel special--knowing that someone that I hardly knew--way off in Iowa, was thinking of me.
Great Aunt Glady resided with her son Roy "Jimmy" Leonard Nelson Jr., at 4045 Linkwood Drive, Houston, Harris County, Texas for the last few years of her life.
Cremated in Texas and son brought her ashes back to Iowa and spread around Mother, Gudrun (Lund) Linderman's gravesite, in Linwood Cemetery, Dubuque, Iowa, because that is how she wanted it.
