Glenda was an avid cook, artist, reader, and traveler. Her interests were diverse and she loved learning. As her health began to fail her, she took up a new hobby, bird watching. Her back yard became an aviary, and she could identify the different birds as they flew in and out of the trees.
Glenda was an enthusiastic baseball fan. She and Johnny had season tickets to the Pensacola Pelican games and could be found in the stands at every home game. They became loyal fans of the Blue Wahoos when the new team came to town and Glenda could name every player and followed them faithfully.
She loved greatly and was greatly loved. She will be greatly missed.
Glenda’s memorial service was held Saturday, November 2, 2013, at Pine Forest United Methodist Church on Wilde Lake Blvd.
The family is accepting floral condolences or, if preferred, contributions may be made to Glenda’s favorite charity in her memory, St. Joseph’s Indian School, PO Box 326 Chamberlain, SD 57326.
