Glenda lovingly filled the traditional life roles of wife and mother, along with Sunday School and VBS teacher. She was a talented seamstress making everything from wedding dresses to Batman capes. She was everyone’s favorite pie maker, known to bake every grandchild’s favorite pie for one weekend celebration. She loved her yard work, especially her roses and John Deere tractor. She touched many lives as a Recovery Room Nurse at St. Bernard’s. But her most cherished role was that of Me-me / Grandma to 8 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren who all believe her most special connection with her was their own.
Her pallbearers are her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
