Gladys Sulaiman

October 21, 1938 — November 12, 2024

Gladys Sulaiman, 86, of Queens, NY, passed away on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at Ten Broeck Commons in Lake Katrine, NY. She was born on October 21, 1938 in Bogota, Colombia, daughter of the late Julio and Ana Isabel (Achury) Jimenez. She was married to Atiyeh Sulaiman who passed away in 2000.

Without knowing a single person, or the English language, Gladys, along with her husband and infant son, moved from Colombia to New York City in 1964. She worked for many years in the Housekeeping Department of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. She was a devout Parishioner at Holy Child Church in Queens, NY. Gladys loved children, and her house was always full of laughter and joy. She opened her home to all family members to visit for short or long-term stays. 

She is survived by her children, John Yamal Sulaiman of Highland and Soraya Sulaiman of Kerhonkson, as well as her siblings, Lila de Silva, Luis Antonio Jimenez, and Judith Marlene Molina.
