Mr. Joseph Glenwood Hendley Jr.

Joseph “Joe” Glenwood Hendley Jr., 69, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025. He was born on March 26, 1956, in Montgomery County, Maryland, to the late Joseph Glenwood Hendley Sr. and Clara Jane (Ricketts) Hendley.

Joe was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Bernice (Bennett) Hendley; his son Joseph “Joey” Hendley III; his sister Agnes “Aggie” Thompson Hendley; his brother in-law Delmar White; and his niece Tammy Ward.

He is survived by his loving children: Brenda Hendley Pasiuk, Shelley Senft (Ron Heppner Jr) and Jennifer Reynolds (Thomas Reynolds). He also leaves behind 16 grandchildren: Kristi Hendley, Maddison “Maddie” Snyder (Ryan Snyder), Kaylee Hendley (Dylan Staley), Julia Reynolds, Dylan Pasiuk, Breanna Rice (Noah Rice), DJ Senft, Joseph Senft, Klaira Hendley, Ashleigh Reynolds, Chase Reynolds, Brooklyn Thompson, Brantley Carpenter, Bentley Thompson, Tregan Carpenter and Braelynn Carpenter; and eight great grandchildren Jaxson Pasiuk, Dylan Staley Jr., Liam Mason, Paxton Snyder, Isabella “Bella” Rice, Myles Hendley, Weston Gagnon and Elliott Reynolds.

Joe is also survived by his sisters, Doris Bostic and Bonnie White; his brothers Milton Hendley (Shari Hendley), Achilles “Ellie or Jim” Hendley and John Hendley; and many extended family members who will miss him dearly.

Throughout his life, Joe worked hard in several fields including tow truck driving, lawn care, and HVAC. No matter what the job, he was known for his dedication and work ethic. More than anything, Joe put family first and always found a way to bring a smile to the faces around him.

He enjoyed life’s simple pleasures-- feeding the ducks, fishing, watching NASCAR, and cheering on his favorite teams, the Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Orioles. He loved playing cards, and he shared a passion for betting on horse races with his brothers. Every Christmas he looked forward to watching Miracle on 34th Street, a tradition that brought joy to him and his family.

Joe will be remembered for his kind heart, sense of humor, and the love he had for his family. His memory will live on in the lives of those who knew and loved him.

Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation on Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Fort Lincoln Funeral Home and Cemetery, in Bladensburg MD. A funeral service will follow the visitation.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in Joe’s memory.
