Glenda Renae (Cook) King was born February 8, 1957 to Warren and Patricia Cook. Glenda was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa. She was a godly woman who lived out her faith in all stages of life. She met her husband Bill King in 1971 at the then John O'Donnell Stadium and an instant crush on a beautiful brunette began followed by the consumption of countless cherry snow cones. She married her cherry snow cone loving sweetheart Bill on July 31, 1976. Together they worked in Ministry for 30 years in Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, and Wisconsin. They raised three daughters Bridget Atchison, Lydia Drum, and Rebecca King. Her personal relationship with God lead her to share her hope for a future in heaven with a joyful spirit even through her 13 ½ year battle against cancer. Glenda touched the hearts of all she met and will be missed tremendously.
She is survived by husband of 47 years Bill; her three daughters Bridget Atchison, Lydia Drum (Mat Seller), and Rebecca King (Josh Lewis); She also was the proud Mammaw to 10 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and 2 “bonus” great grandchildren; her mother Patricia Cook, brother Doug Cook, sisters Michelle (Jim Pfiffner) and Sheila (Dave Lang). She is also loved by her numerous nieces, nephews, and anyone who was blessed enough to call her friend.
She was preceded in death by her father Warren B. Cook, grandparents Walter and Ethel Robertson and Cira and Elizabeth Cook.
