Glenda's life was marked by her warm and outgoing personality. She had a natural ability to connect with others, making lifelong friendships wherever she went. As a devoted sister and mother, Glenda always put her family first. She had a kind and nurturing spirit, becoming a surrogate mother to her children’s friends, who affectionately regarded her as a second mom.

One of Glenda's great passions was reading. She found solace and inspiration within the pages of countless books, eagerly sharing her favorite stories with those around her. Additionally, Glenda took great joy in attending Sunday School and participating in the activities of Calvary Baptist Church, where she was a member.

A special mention must be made of Glenda's great-nephew, Zaidyn, who held a significant place in her heart. Zaidyn lovingly referred to her as "Auntie G," highlighting the special connection they shared.
