Gladys Faye McLean died on Wednesday, July 15, at 84 years old. She was known in the Marble Falls community as a charitable soul that contributed her time and talents to a number of local causes.

“Gladys was a cornerstone in the development of The Helping Center, giving generously of her time, talents, and love for our community,” reads a statement from The Helping Center, a nonprofit dedicated to helping those in need across the Highland Lakes. “Her legacy of compassion and service will continue to inspire us for years to come.”

She and her husband Martin had been married for 66 years, operating McLean’s Highland Cleaners and McLean’s Food & Ice. Gladys was also known for giving her time to sporting events, band concerts, and school events, cooking for all of the above from her own kitchen. 

She taught Sunday school and gave back further to the community through her sorority, the Delta Zeta chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha. 

Her funeral service was held on Tuesday, July 21 at Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Marble Falls. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Glady’s honor to the Helping Center of Marble Falls.
