Gladys's obituary

Gladys Metzger passed away peacefully on September 1, 2025, after facing ongoing health challenges with strength and grace. Born on October 21, 1941, Gladys lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a flair all her own. She was known for her quirky spirit and was proudly George Strait's biggest fan, a title she wore with joy and devotion.

Gladys was predeceased by her father, Fred Metzger, and her mother, Louise Metzger. She is survived by her loving partner, Jack Lichtman; her son, Duane, and his wife, Denise; her cherished grandchildren, Emily and Sarah; her daughter, Kerri; her sister, Patricia Smith; and her nieces, Lori Yates and JoAnn Kuenbaker. Gladys's love for George Strait, God, and her family will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.

In honor of her vibrant life, please donate to St Matthew United Methodist Church in Mesa in lieu of flowers.
