Glenda met her future husband, Fred Colville, while in Prince George in 1966. Their relationship was long distance as Fred lived in Prince George, and Glenda attended Nursing School in Kamloops, until Fred moved to

They were married in Vernon shortly before her graduation on May 23, 1970. They moved to Kamloops where Glenda continued to work at Royal Inland

Hospital until the birth of Charles in 1974 and then they moved to Savona shortly before the birth of Neal in 1976. In 1983 Glenda took a nursing

position at Ashcroft District Hospital, where she worked until her retirement in 2005.

Glenda was very involved within the community of Savona. She was

involved with the Community Association, Girl Guides and the early Savona First Aid Team. Glenda enjoyed watching and supporting her children and grandchildren in their sports and activities. Glenda moved to Chartwell Ridgepoint Retirement Home in June of 2019. She enjoyed the many

activities and outings there. From wine tours, to concerts, movie nights and tile rummy games. Glenda was glad that she made the move.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Royal Inland

Hospital ER, ICU, the Renal Unit and 7 North for their care and support.
