(Jones) Schuette in 1917, in their home in Lebanon, next door to Schuette Motor Company. She went home to be with the Lord on March 15, 2018. She attended Lebanon schools from 1st through 12th grades, graduating from Lebanon High School in 1934. She took piano lessons from Bernice Scott ten years and continued playing, for church, school, other organizations and in later years every month for the nursing homes. She also enjoyed playing the saxophone in bands. She actively played the piano to the end of her life. After high school she was the bookkeeper for Schuette Motor Company except for a few years when she was home with her children. She married Kenneth Kennedy August 16, 1940 and they lived in Esbon for a year. She also was with Kenneth six months in South Dakota when he was in service. Otherwise she lived in Lebanon her entire life. She was baptized in the Lebanon Christian Church in 1930. She has been a member of the CWF and played for the choir specials, also taught several Sunday School classes. She was a member of the Over 60 Club, a life member of the American Legion Auxiliary, Music Club, Smith County Historical Society, Kanza House Genealogical Library, Red Cross Volunteer, Hub Club, Cub Scout leader, participant in the Maverick Band, royalty for Old Settlers Day, and a life member of the Girl Scouts. She was a leader or on the troop committee of Girl Scouts from 1949 to 2009 and quit because she broke her hip. Gladys enjoyed throughout her life: traveling on family vacations, quilting, giving blood, playing the piano, making jelly, leading the Girl Scout troops, going to church, walking in parades, and working on history for the Lebanon Centennial books. She made a lot of quilts and did a lot of quilting, taking over the planning of community quiltings from Frances Ellner, in 1981. She provided quilts for law officials to have for children in various instances. She was known far and wide for making, selling, and mostly giving of her jelly. Her biggest cause was to promote Lebanon and support all factions of making Lebanon a better place for all. She was preceded in death by her parents; 2 brothers, RJ & Henry; a baby sister Helen Irene; husband Kenneth; and a son in law. Gladys is survived by her five children: sons Kent, Carl, and Joe, and daughters: Kay and Lynn; 10 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. (From the memorial folder, adapted here to exclude her date of birth and some information about living persons.) Additional biographical information from a recorded interview with Gladys in September, 2012: In 1934, Kenneth's sister Jessie was a bookkeeper for Gladys's brother in Mankato, Kansas. Jessie taught Gladys bookkeeping so that Gladys could keep books for the Scheutte Motor Company. Kenneth lived in Esbon, about seven miles from Labanon. Gladys first met Kenneth when Kenneth and a friend were driving around Lebanon and asked Gladys and a friend if they wanted to go for a ride. Gladys and Kenneth got married in Phillipsburg, Kansas. Kenneth wanted to see a rodeo there. They got married at the courthouse and then went to the rodeo. As was common at the time, they did not tell their parents they were planning to get married, and their parents did not attend the wedding.
