Gladys Ruth Peters beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and dear child of God passed away peacefully at Liberty Heights skilled nursing facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado on the 26th of October 2010. She was preceded in death by her husband Gordon Taylor Peters, who passed away January 14, 2007. She is survived by her sisters Mabel (Hamon) Prim and Lois (Hamon) Richardson, brothers Alva Hamon and Harold Hamon, children Gordon Denis (Marilyn), Donald D. (Jamie), Rebecca PetersWeatherwax (Gary Albertson), David E. Peters (Kathy) and Daniel R. She is also survived by 14 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.

Gladys Ruth Hamon was born December 19, 1918 on the family homestead in Simpson, Montana north of Havre. She was the fourth of eight children of Delbert Raymond Hamon and Gertrude (Newton) Hamon. The family moved from the homestead to Havre when she was in the first grade. She attended both grade school and high school in Havre graduating in 1937. She worked at the Havre Woolworth store while in high school. She soon met and married her husband of 69 years, Gordon Taylor Peters. Her life from that time on was her family.

She lived into her 90’s always deeply devoted and committed to her family and her Christian faith. She loved all her family without reservation. Though suffering from macular degeneration and other afflictions of aging in later years, her vigor and passion to study the Biblical Scriptures was undiminished. Toward the end of his life, whenever Dad saw Mom, he would greet her with a beaming smile a burst of joy saying "there she is my 'Glady Ruth'." We believe she received the same greeting on October 26th.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her final resting place will be beside her beloved husband in Memorial Gardens, Airport Road, Colorado Springs, CO. Sevices will be on the 5th of November at 2 PM at Memorial Gardens, Colorado Springs.
