Notes for Gladys Ruth Brown
Gladys Brown Hinson

Mrs. Hinson was the daughter of the late C.A. Brown and Mamie M. Brown of Rockwell.
She graduated from Rockwell High School and was a member of Bethpage United Methodist Church all of her adult life. Her devotion to the children's Sunday school classes is a testament of her love and compassion for the young and young at heart.
Gladys loved and was loved by family and friends. Her quirky personality was always a subject of conversation. Anyone who met her always remembered her. She enjoyed years of crocheting and giving handmade items to friends, family and those in need.
She retired after long careers with Sears & Roebuck and as office manager at Hinson Electrical Contractors of Kannapolis.
Gladys Brown Hinson was preceded in death by her brothers, Joe and Norman; her sister, Erma Brown Sides; and her husband of 62 years, Daniel Broadus Hinson.
Mrs. Hinson is survived by sons, Donald K. Hinson and wife Bobbie Hinson of Charlotte and Steven L. Hinson and wife Lisa Hinson of China Grove. Gladys is also survived by her five grandchildren, Scott Hinson and wife Whitney Hinson of Charlotte, Erin Hinson Banker and husband Chris Banker of Belmont, Rachel Hinson of Kannapolis and Jacob and Gracie Hinson of China Grove; great-grandchildren, Noah and Mason Banker of Belmont and Emery, Avery and Aubry Hinson of Charlotte.
