Glenda Williamson was an invincible matriarch. She was vibrant, resilient, tenacious and a very classy lady. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She had a nurturing soul and fierce spirit. She cherished every second she spent with her children and grandchildren. She always put her family’s needs above her own, and made sure they never went without, even during times of hardship. She made sure every birthday was celebrated, every holiday was joyful and memorable, and every child received a special gift. Her smile warmed your heart, her laughter was contagious, and her love unconditional. She will truly be missed, but her love and memories will live on forever in our hearts.
