Her family later moved to Beaumont, TX, where she graduated from South Park High School in 1958. On May 2, 1959, she married Larry Dorman in Beaumont. Over the years, they lived in Austin, TX, Biloxi, MS, and finally settled in Beaumont, later moving to Atascocita and Huffman to raise their three children. Known for her warm and nurturing spirit, Gladys was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She cherished spending time with her family and friends, making memories through travel and various activities. In her earlier years, she enjoyed playing tennis, and later, her days were filled with laughter and joy as she spent time with loved ones. She became known as “Nana” to everyone she met, always making others feel like family. Gladys was a faithful member of New Waverly Church of Christ, where she found joy in her Ladies Bible Class. She also had a passion for staying active, regularly attending the gym with friends, followed by a meal and meaningful conversation. One of her favorite pastimes was playing Mexican Train with her neighbors, where their lively laughter was always heard, a testament to the close bonds she formed. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Larry Dorman. Gladys is survived by her daughters, Lisa (Brian) Pflug of Huntsville and Lorie (Steve) Schroder of Tomball, and her son, Michael (Whitney) Dorman of New Waverly. She also leaves behind her five beloved grandchildren, Cody Schroder of Houston, Bri Pflug of Houston, Zach Pflug of Huntsville, Blake Dorman and Violet Dorman of New Waverly, and her sister, Ellen King of Clear Lake. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial donations be made to the New Waverly Church of Christ at PO Box 401, New Waverly, TX 77358, in honor of Gladys’ love for her church and community.
