Born in Clifton, Texas, Glenda spent her years in Temple, Texas, where she was a devoted member of Saint Joseph Catholic Church. She was a talented artist who loved to paint, draw, and sew, always creating something beautiful with her hands. Glenda’s love for Christmas was evident in her treasured collection of Santa Claus figurines, and she found great joy in cooking for her family—especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Helen and Glenn White, and her brother, Ronnie White and wife Aleta White.
