She was born on October 5, 1930, on the family farm east of Munich to Henry and Linda (Sawatzky) Dick. She attended Munich Public School and graduated from Bethany Bible School. Gladys married Herbert Hoffman on October 21, 1952, in the Salem Mennonite Church and they made their home south of Munich, moving into Munich in 1995.
Gladys, a long-time member of now Salem Bible Church in Munich, loved music and was regularly found playing the piano and organ. In 2019 she was honored for 75 years of service through music.
