Glenda and Bob moved to Wheeler, TX in 1977 where Bob established his family practice clinic. Wheeler was home until 2018 when they moved back to OKC. Wheeler is where they raised their three children, Yancy, Niki and Suzy. Glenda had many roles during this time including raising her three children, working at the Christian School, having a weekly radio show and helping Bob through many back office jobs at his clinic.

Glenda was a devoted wife, loving mother, sweet sister, friend to many and adored nana. She treasured her family, children and her grandchildren. She spent countless hours helping others succeed. Glenda really enjoyed painting, writing, art museums, vacations with family, and was a lifelong learner. She had a very close bond with her sisters Debi and Patty.
