In Over the Hedge
At the start of the film, Gladys is the president of the Home Owners Association ensuring that each house in El Rancho Camelot follow the strict H.O.A rules and also obsessed with the quality of every home in the neighborhood. She is first seen talking nicely on the phone while drinking and driving her car to her home. After Gladys later talks on the phone, saying that she is the president of Home Owners Association as well as saying that the grass is supposed to be 2 inches and according to her measuring stick, the grass is 2.5, she grabs the rest of her supermarket products that she carries them to her home. Gladys later notice that RJ and the gang are making a mess in her backyard when she open the door to check on her pet cat Tiger, she later scares them away by using a broom while angrily states that she just cleaned up and calling them filthy vermins. Meanwhile after Hammy pretended to have rabies in order to get the food, Gladys talks to Janis, who has two children and when Janis leaves, she angrily tells her that she will be worried about the end of suburban peace and tranquility.

Unfortunately for Gladys, the animals return many times to steal food, which risks ruining the neighborhood. because of that, Gladys hire Dwayne LaFontant as her henchman to kill RJ and his friends. Gladys walks out of her home only to find others humans gathering and an unconscious Ozzie laying on the floor. She tells the others that she called Dwayne to kill the animals before they get hurt like this. When Dwayne arrive, she tells him that where have he been and she's having an party tomorrow and Debbie's car killed more animals than he has and when Dwayne tries to handle Ozzie by using his claw, she tells Janis that she certainly hopes Ozzie is not any pain (showing that she cares about Ozzie's life and might have a little care about wild animals despite her dislike of wild animals) but however Dwayne fails to catch Ozzie and Gladys yells at one of the humans to kill Ozzie and because of that, Ozzie escapes to safety. Later, Gladys says that nobody can throw garbage cans on the floor but the Spuddies can and a wagon fall (dropped by RJ) on Gladys's car causing it to explode but Gladys escapes to safety. That night, Gladys got traps in order to prevent animals from sneaking into her house and also asks Dwayne to give her the Depelter Turbo so she purchase it (despite being aware that the Depelter Turbo is illegal in every state expect Texas and not caring if it's illegal). The Next morning, she wakes up in her room to the kitchen drinking coffee before noticing that the animals are in her house and gets sprayed by Stella as well as also called Dwayne to catch them but all of them are captured (expect RJ) and she also blames him for the animals sneaking inside her house and tells him to deal with them very imhumanely.

Later on, The animals return to Gladys's home in order to go their home with Dwayne's van, only to destroy it. Enraged by the fact that her beautiful home is destroyed and the animals came back and escaped. She attempted to kill them by using an weed whacker. She is then frozen in time after Hammy drinks an energy drink which cause him to defeat the three villains by activates the Depelter Turbo. Gladys ends up screaming in rage (likely in pain as well) as it incinerates her. After getting incinerated from the Depelter Turbo, she lost her hair as well her clothes were torn.

Gladys later got fired from her job and arrested by the police and she tries to make the police officers to let her go by blaming Dwayne for the Depelter Turbo being in her backyard which cause a rage and a fight against the police officers.

In Over the Hedge: The Video Game
In the video game, Gladys does not seem to have any strict H.O.A. rules. However, she still dislikes wild animals.

At the end of the video game, Gladys does not get arrested, so her fate is unknown.

Personality
Gladys has an intense hatred and disgust for wild animals; one of the reasons is because of how they keep attacking her house and stealing her stuff. However, she seems to have no problem with domestic animals as she had a pet cat named Tiger.

Gladys is very strict with her H.O.A. rules and is constantly worried about animals "lowering her property values".

But despite this, she was nice towards other humans, and cares about Tiger as shown when she said What it is, baby?, and not to mention she even cares about Ozzie's life for some reason as shown when she told Janis that she certainly hopes that Ozzie is not any pain which is before she, and the other humans realize that Ozzie was pretending to dead as well as being sad and shock when Ozzie pretends to be dead and Dwayne attempted to handle him (which may show that she has little bit care about wild animals).

Appearance
Gladys is a tall, slender woman with black shoulder-length hair, green eyes, and pale skin.

She usually dresses in a black blazer over a red tank top shirt, black pants, and black shoes. Her nighttime outfit consists red pajamas with gold linings and a letter "G." She also wears rabbit slippers.
