Gladys Yvonne Chapman, “Puddin”, returned home to her Lord and Savior on January 11, 2020 at the age of 70 with her daughter Felicia by her side. She was born on July 26, 1949 in Portsmouth,Va to the late Robert and Odell Geter Shelton. Her sisters, Patricia Snead and Mildred Moore, brother Leroy Moore, preceded Gladys in death. She graduated from historic Norcom High School in Portsmouth and attended Tidewater Community College. Gladys worked as an environmental contractor for many years before retiring.
She leaves to cherish her memory her children son, Yusuf AlQuran (Joe-Joe), daughter Felicia Shelton, granddaughter Maryam AlQuran, sister Ruth Baines, nieces Brenda McCall, Terri Moore, Mary Snead, special beloved friend Irene Wilson and a host of extended family and friends whom she cherished deeply.
Gladys’s contribution to the world is to remind us all to be ever-faithful and to remember to call on God during the good times and the bad. She passed on to her children the love of education, old-school “home training”, and the belief that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, but don’t forget God’s mercy. We are content and at peace thinking of our loved ones, knowing that as long as we remember them that they are never really gone from us.

January 16, 2020 at 9:55 pmThe last time we talked we went down memory lane and it was a delight. We laughed about the good old days with the family and it was like time stood still. May You Forever Rest In Peace.

May 24, 2020 at 8:37 pmMs Gladys, from the moment we met at Kindred Home, you were my Grandma’s roommate!! We hit it off between our shared love of the Military and the Jets!! I would send you pictures and everytime over the years , when I would visit my grandma I would come down to see you!! You always had a joke and we had great conversations about life and family.. I am so sorry after my Grandma passed I had a real hard time even pulling in the parking lot there, I missed you I always called your phone but you didnt answer. You will never be forgotten and you will always hold a special place in my heart..Brooklynn and Phoenix say they will miss you also.. R.I.P. Beautiful lady…till we meet again.
Love you,
Lisa
