DINGER - Glady. 12/1/42 - 4/7/00. The lives she touched will forever be enriched. She set the standard for the word 'dynamic' and was a person with no borders. We loved her dearly and find it difficult to express how much she will be missed. She passed on much too early, but lived a full and strong life. Born in New York City, she was a long time resident of Long Island, growing up in Elmhurst, married and lived in Smithtown and Stony Brook, raising two children with her husband, John. With her husband, she joined the Peace Corps at age 27 and lived with her family in Swaziland, Africa for four years, where she performed tirelessly for the International Red Cross in the immunization program against smallpox and diphtheria, distributing food for the UN world food program, and providing the means for health and hygiene. On her return to Long Island, she continued to serve the community working in Brentwood Pharmacy and later as a partner in Holbrook Pharmacy for the next 14 years. In 1991, Glady and her husband moved to Lake Worth, Florida where she pursued another career as a realtor. Disabling disease forced her to remain home, where she valiantly fought against a painfully unrelenting disease for five years. Glady remained a positive thinker and still made an impact on those who knew her, until her passing on April 7th. Her presence and vitality will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Her husband, two children and two grandchildren survive her. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to: Amyloidosis Network International, Inc., 7118 Cole Creek Drive, Houston, TX 77092 - 1421 (1 - 888 - 269 - 5643).
