She was born in the house her grandfather built south of Lynnville. At the age of two, her family moved to a farm one mile south of Taintor. She attended Taintor Independent School, except for 8th grade, that year she attended Peoria Christian. She attended New Sharon High School, graduating with the class of 1949. On September 26, 1952, she married Marvin James Vander Molen, while he was in service. To this union four children were born: Dennis Rene, Gary Lee, Byron Jay and Brenda Lou. Gladys continued to live with her parents while Marvin served his time in Japan. She worked at the Farmers Coop grocery store during his absence. Then they together moved to California when Marvin was stationed there. After their return to Iowa, Gladys and Marvin took up farming for their career. They first lived south of Sully for four years, then to the home place south of Lynnville from 1960 until 1986. They then semi-retired to Peoria, where they lived for the next twenty years.

Gladys made profession of faith on May 14, 1950, at Peoria Christian Reformed Church, where she has remained a faithful member. She was a current member of Queen Esther Society and had also been a member of Hilltop Auxiliary and Fair Haven Auxiliary.
