Glenda lost her dad at age three and her mother at age five.  Her sisters shared thr responsibility of taking care of her.  She went from one sister’s home to another.  Glenda learned at a young age to do her share of the work and she did just that.  Glenda said before she could even reach the countertop she had to make biscuits for the family.  She had to start working before she could finish school.  Her education was in life itself.  She loved fishing, cooking, sewing, reading, gardening, canning, watching football and spending time with family and friends.  She hated to be alone.  She always strived to help people as much as she could.  Glenda was considered “Mom” to many.  She never met a stranger.

Visitation and the service will be held November 12 in the Chapel of Guerry Funeral Home.  Visitation is from 12 – 2 with the service beginning immediately following.  Brother Albert Starling officiating.  Interment will be in Macedonia Cemetery.

All are welcome to attend to celebrate Glenda’s life and share your nenories of her.  The family would like to thank the staff at Kindred Rehab/Hospital for their efforts and exceptional care.
