Bio
Gladys Tyler, age 101, formally from Garwood, Texas passed away peacefully October 13, 2025 at the Care Home of the Yellow Rose in New Braunfels, Texas. She was born on May 7, 1924, the only child of Elo Girndt and Edna (Slovak) Girndt in Columbus, Texas. Gladys graduated from Columbus High School in 1941 and was a majorette in the school band. In her younger years Gladys worked in her family store, E A Girndt Groceries in Columbus, taught dance lessons and attended business school in Houston. She loved music, dancing, and playing the slots in Las Vegas. She enjoyed hosting parties and was a fantastic cook. Ever the sports woman, she was a frustrated golfer but tried her best with her friend Viola Zboril. Despite her ladylike demeanor she was an accomplished hunter, and avid angler fishing the Gulf for redfish and trout no matter the weather. For many years Gladys was a dedicated homemaker caring for her two sons. She volunteered at the Eagle Lake Hospital, was a charter member of Catholic Daugh- ters and participated in community events. A lifelong Catholic, she was a member of St Mary's Catholic Church in Nada, Texas. Her faith was central throughout her life and she drew strength during difficult times from her strong catholic beliefs. Gladys was preceded in death by her parents, Elo and Edna Girndt; first husband, Carl Schiurring; son David Schiurring; and second husband Marvin Tyler. Gladys is survived by her son, Stephen Schiurring and wife Terry of San Marcos; daughter-in-law Betty Gold (Schiurring); grandchildren Stacy Schiurring-Klein (Kevin), Chriss Schiurring, Cynthia Hatt (George) and Gregory Schiurring; and great-grandchildren Sophie and Sawyer Schiurring, Zoey and Everett Klein, and Hadrian Hatt. Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, November 25 at 11:00 AM at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Nada, Texas, Fr. Peter Yeboah-Amanto will be officiating.
