Gladys is survived by her husband, David Doane of North Sandwich; a son, Langdon Ambrose II of Tamworth; grandsons Jesse Ambrose and Joshua Ambrose, both of Sandwich; sisters Elva Parks of Tamworth, Shirley Frost of Freedom, and Janice Couch, of Cedar Vale, Kans.; brothers, Warren Anthony, David Anthony and Bruce Anthony, all of Tamworth, Stanley Anthony of Conway, and Chester Anthony of Yucaipe, Calif.; and many nieces, nephews and others.
She was predeceased by a brother, Harry Anthony.
There will be an open house in her honor on Sunday, Jan. 14, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the home of her sister, Elva Parks. Burial will be in Rural Cemetery, North Sandwich, later in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Visiting Nurse Association Hospice of Southern Carroll County and Vicinity, P.O. Box 1620, Wolfeboro, NH 03894.
All of her life, Gladys gave of herself and two husbands, her family and her friends. Many will miss her ever-cheerful "hello" and ready smile.
