Gladys Combs Newland, age 90, was received in Heaven on Tuesday, March 5. She died in Tallahassee where she has resided for the past 12 years.
Gladys was born and raised in Richmond, Kentucky. It is there that she started a family with Carl T. Newland, Sr. after his return from World War II. The Newland family relocated to Titusville in 1964, where Gladys worked at Florida National Bank, and then retired from McDonnell Douglas after many years.
Gladys devoted countless hours to First Christian Church, and was most often found looking after the congregation's children in the nursery or baking for a reception in the kitchen. Gladys found great joy in
being a loyal and loving mother and grandmother, as a result her care extended well beyond family to anyone who needed a warm meal or hug.
Gladys is preceded in death by her parents, Conley and Ethel Jackson Combs; her husband of 67 years, Carl T. Newland; her beloved son, Titusville Police Chief, Carl T. Newland, Jr.; and siblings, Ed Combs, Norma Jean Williams, and Allie Mae Combs. She is survived by her adored daughter, Nancy N. Olewski of Tallahassee; son-in-law, John Olewski; daughter-in-law, Kathy Newland; grandchildren, John Z. Olewski, III, Jenny Newland Osbon (Rob Osbon), Mark N. Olewski (Lola Jackson Olewski), Brian T. Newland; and great-grandson, Jackson Turner Olewski; as well as siblings, Dorothy Shelton, Ruby Roberts, Thelma Bishop, Chan Combs, Bobby Combs; and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Turner; as well as many nieces and nephews.
The family invites all who knew Gladys to join us in celebrating her life at a memorial viewing on March 8, 2013 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at North Brevard Funeral Home. Gladys will be interred during a graveside service at Oaklawn Cemetery.
