Gladys M. Stout 

October 11, 1907 - 

November 2, 2005 

Gladys Morley Stout, age 98, formerly from Elizabethton, Tenn., went to be with 

the Lord on November 2, 2005, in the NHC Healthcare of Johnson City, Tenn., 

following a brief illness. 

Mrs. Stout was the daughter of the late Charles and Naomi McQueen Morley. She 

was preceded in death by her husband of almost 68 years, Kyle U. Stout; three 

brothers, Dana, D.C. Sr. and James Morley; and two sisters, Mrs. Carrie Bradley 

and Mrs. Eula Tester. 

Gladys was born in Butler, Tenn., but spent her early childhood days in 

Elizabethton, where she attended the Elizabethton city schools. After her 

marriage, she and her husband lived in Butler, where they lived until 1948, at 

which time they moved to Elizabethton. She was an active member of Oak Street 

Baptist Church, where she served as Sunday School teacher and superintendent of 

the Primary Department. Gladys was also the chairperson of the Benevolence 

Committee of the WMU (Women's Mission Union) and sang in the church choir. One 

of the greatest joys of her life was teaching children in Sunday School and 

Training Union. She was a member of the Gertrude Hale Sunday School Class. Her 

special interests, in addition to church activities, were sewing and cooking. 

She will be remembered for her special apple pies, which she made for family 

and friends throughout the years.
