Gladys Mary (Jackie)Theiler-Brady, a resident of New Mexico since 1950, was carried to heaven on July 18, 2004, by God's holy angels. On earth she was a lady; now in heaven she has found her place. The angels sing sweet songs to her in the presence of God's holy face. She was born in Moline, IL, and also lived in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Kentucky. Gladys married her first husband, Ray Theiler, June 13th 1936, in Louisville, KY. They had seven children. In 1950 they relocated to Belen, New Mexico. Ray passed away in 1956.

After she moved to Albuquerque, she tutored elementary school children who had reading problems. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend-and loved by all who knew her.
