Glenda was a lifelong resident of Tampa, Florida and surrounding areas. She was a homemaker for her family. She loved living life in her own quiet sort of way. She always had a smile on her face no matter the circumstances. Even when she did not have much to offer, she was always there to help in any way she could. She was a jokester, she always had “original” jokes and would laugh and laugh when she “Got You”! She loved making people laugh! She was strong in her faith and always knew that God was in control and that his plans for her were the best. She loved spending time with her family and was actively involved in volunteering at the local mission. She was a member of East Tampa Baptist Church.
Glenda was loved by many and will be greatly missed. She was the kind of person you could talk to every day or it could be weeks but it was always the same. You will be in our hearts – until we meet again! We love you!
A celebration of life is being planned for August 15th. Location and time will be announced at a later date.
