Gladys Marie (Chenoweth) Dannar of rural Worth County passed away Saturday, June 11, 2011 at her home near Oxford while under hospice care.
Gladys was born March 1, 1925 southwest of Darlington on the Chenoweth family farm. She was the seventh of nine children born to Delner and Inace (Gillespie) Chenoweth. She attended Darlington School.
On April 5, 1941, she married J.W. “Buster) Dannar. To this marriage were born two sons and one daughter.
She was a farm wife who worked alongside her husband in the fields in addition to keeping house, growing a garden, and cooking. She was universally known among her grandchildren for making the world’s best noodles, cinnamon rolls, and pies. Dinner at grandma’s was always a holiday meal no matter what day of the year it was. No visitor at her table ever left hungry.
