Gladys's obituary

Gladys Lorraine Pearson (Maiden), 72, passed away on March 17, 2021 in Detroit, Michigan. Gladys Lorraine Miller-Coleman, was the youngest of four children born to Charles Pearson and Elizabeth Wade in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Gladys leaves behind a rich legacy in her children, Henry D. Smith Jr. (Margo), Angela L. Miller, Sean E. Miller, (Danielle), seven grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, siblings, Olin Boyce Pearson(Ester), Jerelene Smith, Barbara Pearson-Tolbert, and a host of nieces and nephews, great nieces, nephews, and friends. Gladys was employed at SEMTA/SMART for over 25 years, as a driver then became a Master Trainer. She earned the respect of her co-workers, and trainees as a fair and knowledgeable person. Her retirement from SEMTA/SMART allowed her to enjoy life that included traveling, volunteer work and time to take up new hobbies. Everyone that worked with her remembers her quick smile, kindness and her ability to get along with everyone. Gladys will be greatly missed by everyone.

John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live"
