Burial will be in the New Lutheran Cemetery in Norfolk. Visitation will be 4-6 p.m. Thursday at the Home for Funerals. She died Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018, at St. Joseph's Rehabilitation and Care Center in Norfolk. Memorials may be directed to St. John's Lutheran Church, the Madison County Museum or Skyview Villa. 1923-2018 Gladys May Moritz was born on April 18, 1923, in Crofton, the daughter of William and Pearl (Paulsen) Yonke. She attended her first 10 grades at Frankfort School, northwest of Crofton, and graduated from Hartington High School in 1941. She then attended business college in Sioux City. When World War II was declared, she went to work as the men were leaving for the service. Gladys worked a Cudahy Packing Company in Sioux City for five years in the IBM Department. On Aug. 18, 1946, Gladys married Gordon A. Moritz. They lived in Rapid City for three years, where Gordon was employed by Northwestern Bell Telephone. In 1949, he transferred to Norfolk, where they lived the rest of their lives. Gladys and Gordon spent his last three years at St. Joseph's Care Center, and Gladys lived at Skyview Villa for little over six years. Gladys was a very active member of St. John's Lutheran Church, where she taught confirmation classes for many years and was in charge of the cradle roll for 50 years. She was a past Girl Scout Leader and past neighborhood chairman for the Girl Scouts. Her special time was having the grandchildren come and stay with her and Gordon. She taught them how to make "Grandma rolls." Another highlight was camping with her family. Gladys is survived by her two daughters, Patricia Nielsen of McCook and Cynthia McKusick of Middletown, Pa.; six grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, Rachel (Wayland) Hudgins and Derek and Damon of Midlothian, Va.; Joshua (Micalagh) Moritz and Hudson and Cordelia of Harrisburg, Pa.; Matthew (Angie) Nielsen and Isaac and Abigail of McCook; Nathan Nielsen and Alex and Aaron of McCook; Michaelia (Travis) Reeves and Elijah and Benjamin of Waverly, N.Y.; and William (Judy) McKusick and Siarah, Adalynn and Alyssa of Wellsburg, N.Y. Also surviving Gladys are her brother, Jim Yonke and his spouse, Judy of Kearney, Mo., sisters-in-law, Ruth Uecker of Norfolk and Adeline Yonke Zeeb of Yankton; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Pearl Yonke; her spouse, Gordon; three brothers, Jack Yonke and his spouse, Shirley, Melvin Yonke and Ervin Yonke and spouse, Gen; and a son-in-law, Dr. Gary Nielsen.
