Gladys Patricia Adlar

Gladys Patricia Adlar, a devoted mother, cherished grandmother, and beloved sister, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2025, at her residence in Dania Beach, Florida. She was born on July 14, 1938, in Newark, New Jersey.

Gladys spent her career as a Barmaid, finding immense joy in connecting with people through her work as a bartender. Beyond her professional life, she proudly served as the Chaplain for the American Legion for over 10 years. Gladys was particularly proud of her three military sons and grandson.

She will be remembered for her sharp wit and quick humor, and was known by all as a remarkably trustworthy and dependable presence. Gladys was the heart and soul of her family, possessing a warmth that made everyone feel safe and seen. 

An avid reader, she also loved to cook, with Thanksgiving dinner being her favorite occasion to prepare and share her favorite dishes. Gladys also enjoyed playing bingo and the lottery. Her spirit was full of life, always ready for a good laugh, a game, or a glass of Crown Royal shared in good company.

Gladys is survived by her adored children: Stanley T. Adlar, III (Jennifer), Kevin J. Adlar (Judy), Maureen Memmolo (Dante Sr.), and Walter Cambeis. She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Stanley T. Adlar, IV, Sean Adlar, Bruce Adlar, Tabitha Abilez, Kevin Adlar, Jr., Briana N. Baumhor (Michael J.), Dante Memmolo, Jr., Chelsea Cambeis, and Samatha Cambeis. She is also survived by her beloved siblings: Irene Lutz, Patricia Dorsey, Barbara Rongo, Shirley Cumiskey, Edward Cumiskey, and Loretta Fisler. Furthermore, she is survived by twelve great-grandchildren.

Gladys was preceded in death by her parents, Matthew Cumiskey and Gladys Scheuerman, her siblings Matthew Cumiskey and Theresa O'Brien, and her grandson Walter Cambeis, Jr..

Her presence was a blessing, her memory a treasure.
