Glenda Ann Ivie-McMahon

To those who knew Glenda, they regarded her as strong, kind, giving and selfless, she taught all through example that no matter what life throws in one's path - faith, hope and love abide - and the greatest of these is love. Glenda earned a living the last eight years, as a waitress, manager and even a cook at times in the restaurants in the town she loved, Cooper. She never referred to it as work, for she enjoyed and truly cared for those she served. Her long time dream was to have her own restaurant, and in July of this year that dream was fulfilled. Although she has recently changed her residence to heaven. Death does not change everything. For her love lives on in each that knew and loved Glenda, and our family thanks each of you for letting Glenda's light continue to shine.
