Mrs. Gleaves lived in France and Florida as a child, and as an adult lived in Cincinnati, Columbus and Granville. She received formal training at Bill Hixon's School of Floral Design in Chicago and was a Life Member of the Granville Garden Club. She also loved spending time in the Granville Public Library and maintaining her gardens.

Surviving are her children, Charles Gleaves, of Mansfield, Alice Wakefield, of North Carolina, Julia Platt, of Pennsylvania, and Marcia Forrest, of Illinois; six grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her former husband, Clifton B. Gleaves, whom she married in 1942; and one sister, Elizabeth M. Barkalow.

The McPeek Funeral Home in Granville is assisting the family with arrangements.
