Gladys was born on April 29, 1947, the oldest daughter of Sylvester and Helen (Jahner) Zahn. She grew up in Linton and graduated from St. Anthony’s Catholic School in 1965. She also graduated from Presentation College in Aberdeen, SD.

Gladys met Dennis while working at Dal’s Dario in Linton. During their first encounter, Dennis ordered a dipped twist cone that Gladys tipped over onto the counter. Two years later, after dropping the twist cone, Gladys married Dennis, June 1^st, 1968 in the St. Anthony’s Catholic Church. They had four children, Yvette, Tiffany, John and Paul.

The Krumm garden and flowers were always so beautiful. Gladys so enjoyed watching Dennis plant the flowers, making sure they were just perfect. In her spare time, Gladys loved sewing and sharing her projects with others. She enjoyed cooking her favorites, kuchen and cheese buttons. Some of her other favorite things to do were playing cards with her sisters, shopping with her girls, and she LOVED spending quality time with her grandchildren and great-grandchild, whom she loved dearly.
