Glennis T. Raynes, of Carson, Mississippi, passed away peacefully at his residence on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the age of 88. He was born in Jefferson Davis County to Cornelius and Roberta Raynes where he has remained a lifelong resident. Glennis found pleasure in the simple things in life and enjoyed fishing, hunting, and buffets where he was well known in numerous establishments around the area.

Glennis had a great sense of humor and will be remembered for the love he had for his family.
He was preceded in death by his parents, known to all as Big Momma and Big Daddy; four sisters, Sylvia Prine, Bernice May, Dorothy May, and Drue Turnage; three brothers, Tedo Raynes, F.T. Raynes, and Donald Ray Raynes; and a daughter, Deidre Raynes. Glennis is survived by two daughters, Joy Raynes Houston (Reed) and Kimberly Raynes (Bobby); two sons Terry Raynes (Dawn) and Kevin Raynes (Laura); one sister, Donnis DeKraai; and multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
