Glenda was born on July 14, 1944 to Ruth Clinger Walker and Andrew Glen Walker. The world was blessed place because of her. Glenda spent most of her life blessing others through her job as a nurse.
Glenda mentored numerous other nurses and practitioners in the art of compassion. She loved children and made it her mission to care for them and their wellbeing. She donated her services to the underprivileged in the name of Christ. She never wanted any notoriety for her actions, but simply for others to love as Christ loved us.

Glenda will definitely leave a void on this earth. Although she would say, “Don’t cry for me, I am with Jesus!” While in the hospital, Glenda lost her little brother, Dewey Lee Walker. Glenda had taken care of her baby brother for the past several years. Rest assured that her last breath on Earth was her first breath in Heaven. Well done, good and faithful servant.
