Naomi Louise Grace Gleason

She was, indeed, a beautiful lady and the personification of patience, always "keeping her cool" in the rowdiest of classes. How well I remember her trying to teach bookkeeping to me and typing to Put Guidry! That, alone, assures she is in Heaven today.

Mrs. Gleason was an honored guest at our NHS Class of '56 reunions. She was loved by all, and we knew she cared for each and every one of us. My deepest condolences to the family.

She was a wonderful teacher to me as well as others. I was also privileged to know some of her children. My sincerest condolences to all you.

Many years ago your mother exercised at First Baptist Church Nederland. She was such an inspiration and a lovely lady. My prayers are with the family at this time.
May you feel God's loving arms around all of you today and every day.

Kris White

She was a lovely lady.

I have wonderful memories of Mrs. Gleason's class in high school. She was a wonderful teacher and such a sweet lady. My deepest sympathy to her family.

James,

I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. Our last visit was at the Class of '57 Reunion.

She has always been in that Pantheon of great teachers who impacted my life: Bob Reid and James Woods at Baylor; Jere Williams at UT Law, Hazel Chambless, Mary Damrel and your mother at NHS and junior high.

Liz and my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family in this time of mutual loss.

"Miss" Gleason taught generations of my family, myself included. I have fond memories of her as a great teacher and influence on my life. It was a joy to be reunited with her in the past several years when I visited my niece Lydia Andrews on the occasions of Thanksgivings. We spent many hours remembering things long forgotten; a lot of smiles, laughter and good humor. As long as I live, I will be her student.

I remember Mrs. Gleason as a very sweet lady and an excellent teacher. May the Lord comfort you at this time.

I am sorry for your loss, she always had time for a visit and was a wonderful teacher she taught me bookkeeping in high school she was one of my favorite teachers.

I always enjoyed going to Mrs. Gleason's bookkeeping class. She was not only an excellent teacher, but very professional in her approach to teach bookkeeping. The only way to make the journal entries, was the right way and everything came out even, clean and lined up. I still use the skills she taught in my job today. Her memory will live own.
