Gladys Elaine Albin, daughter of Lee and Ruth (Kitterman) Albin, was born January 20, 1928, on a farm northwest of Wall, South Dakota.

She grew up in that area and received her education at the Cedar Butte rural school.

Gladys was united in marriage to Lerrill Hinman on June 18, 1951, at Rapid City, South Dakota, and to this union was born one son, Rodney.

She was baptized in the Methodist Church in 1967.

They farmed northwest of Wall for four years prior to moving into Wall in 1955.  She was employed at the Wall Motel until they moved to Wasta where she worked at the Redwood Motel.  In 1982 they returned to Wall and she worked part-time as a clerk for the Homestead Motel.

Because of failing health, Lou Gehrig's disease, she entered the Rapid City Care Center on January 21, 1987, where she resided until the time of her death.

Gladys attended the United Methodist Church in Wall.
