Glenda believed in supporting the community and being involved in her church. Her passion was gardening, cooking and sewing for her family and community.

Many young people were fortunate enough to attend Falls Creek when she was a cook where she blessed us with outstanding meals.

Glenda loved her family, children and grandchildren. Family gatherings were a central piece where she displayed her talent of delicious meals where everyone left the table stuffed.
