Mrs. Glenda F Dillard

Glenda Fae Barnett Dillard was born on May 27, 1937, in Ennis, Texas, to Olen Lewis and Evelyn Ruth Barnett. After a valiant fight with lung cancer, she passed into eternal rest in Gun Barrel City, Texas, on March 1, 2021, at the age of 83. Glenda was a devoted and loving wife of 63 years to her husband Bobby, who preceded her in death on October 6, 2020. That love and devotion extended on to her daughters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and the rest of her extended family.

Glenda graduated third in her class from Wilmer-Hutchins High School in 1955 and attended business school after. She went on to a career in mortgage servicing until her retirement. Glenda was an accomplished seamstress and there was nothing she could not make. Glenda also shared a love for all kinds of gardening with Bobby, but their favorite was raising orchids.

She was a member of Living for the Brand Cowboy Church in Athens, Texas.
