Glennis was a person who never took life too seriously, always finding the humor in every situation. Her contagious laugh was a beacon of joy, lighting up any room she entered. Whether she was sharing a story, telling a joke, or simply enjoying the company of loved ones, Glennis had an extraordinary ability to make everyone around her feel happy and at ease. Home was where Glennis found true contentment. She cherished the simple pleasures of life, finding peace and happiness surrounded by family. Her love for home was only rivaled by her passion for playing softball. On the field, Glennis was not just a teammate but a source of encouragement and laughter, making the game enjoyable for everyone involved. Family was the cornerstone of Glennis’ life. She loved deeply and unconditionally, always putting her loved ones first. Glennis was a devoted mother, and a cherished friend. Her presence brought warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. While we mourn the loss of Glennis, we also celebrate the incredible life she lived—a life filled with laughter, love, and a spirit that never faded. Her memory will live on in the stories we share, the laughter we echo, and the love we continue to feel.
