She attended Libby public schools and was graduated from Libby High School in 1936 where she was an honor student and very involved in the music curriculum as the piano accompanist for individual and choir performances.

In the fall of 1940, she returned home to Libby for a short time, practicing her skills there before accepting a position in San Mateo, Calif., as a surgical nurse. In 1941, Gladys accepted a civil-service appointment as a nurse at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif. Gladys' nursing career continued during a span of more than 40 years, most of which was spent nurturing and counseling disabled World War II, Korean, and Vietnam War veterans.
While working in Palo Alto, Gladys met Dr. Harry J. Haynes, whom she married on Oct. 18, 1947, in Grand Canyon, Ariz. She moved with Harry to Los Angeles where she worked as a nursing supervisor at the Brentwood Hospital for two years and then resumed her work as a nurse for the Veterans Administration Hospital in Westwood.
