Gladys Bryan McNeilly

Gladys Bryan McNeilly, 79, of Greenback, entered into the arms of her Lord and Savior on March 28th, 2026. Gladys, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother lived a life full of devotion, strength and compassion to all who knew her. She loved her family and friends deeply, but her greatest of joys was being a Nan to her grandkids and great grandkids. Gladys enjoyed working outdoors and spending time with her dearest friend, Norman. Together, they shared their love for farming and beef cattle. Everyday, her and Norman would check on the cattle.
