GLADYS FRIESZ was born north of New Leipzig, ND on May 9, 1934 to Edward and Anna (Wagner) Friesz. She grew up on the Friesz family farm and received her elementary education in the rural country school. She was united in marriage to Ervin Wutzke on October 18, 1950. Gladys and Ervin made their home on the farm south of Elgin where they raised their six children.
She was a member of the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church where she taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School for 20 years, was the Sunday School Treasurer for many years, and sang in the church choir.
