Gladys Trebil
March 6, 1924 — January 27, 2007
Gladys Ann (Dobak) Trebil was born on March 6, 1924, in Ortonville, MN, to parents, John & Bertha (Rand) Dobak. She was baptized and confirmed at First English Lutheran Church in Ortonville, MN. Gladys grew up in Ortonville and graduated from high school in 1942. Following her education, Gladys then left for California and got a job at Santa Ana Air Base where she worked for two years. She then returned to Ortonville and was employed as Deputy Register of Deeds for Big Stone County for two years and later worked for the Big Stone County ASCS Office for several years.
Gladys was united in marriage to Edgar Trebil on March 9, 1946, at the First English Lutheran Church in Ortonville, MN. They made their home in Clinton until 1952, when they moved to Ortonville where they continued to reside until their deaths.
Gladys was a member of First English Lutheran Church all of her life, her parents being one of a group of founders of the church. She loved singing in the choir, especially in her younger years. She taught Sunday School, belonged to the Altar Guild and Flower Committee for periods of time and also helped with the church Parish Caller mailings for many years.
Gladys spent her spare time playing cards, golfing, baking, cooking, always willing to try a new recipe and even inventing a few of her own, working the Sunday Tribune crosswords, babysitting, feeding the birds, enjoying her grandchildren, and, in her later years, very much enjoying her lake cabin with all her family. Christmas was Becky's favorite time of year. In years past, she loved baking Christmas goodies just to give away to family and friends. She had a generous heart in many ways.
Gladys passed away on Saturday, January 27, 2007, at her home in Ortonville, MN, reaching the age of 82 years. She was preceded in death by her parents, John & Bertha Dobak; her husband, Edgar Trebil; brothers, Johnny Dobak and Raynold Dobak; sisters, Beatrice Dobak, Naomi Dobak, Berdina Dahl, and Lillian Furland.
