Glenda Darlene Perry

Glenda Darlene Perry, lovingly known as “Glamma,” was born on July 1, 1958, in Houston, Texas. She passed away on November 4, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and a family who will forever cherish her love, laughter, and the special place she held in their hearts.

Darlene was a woman who loved life and making memories. She enjoyed going on cruises, glamping, and going on adventures, always finding joy in experiencing new things and making memories along the way. She had a special love for angels and dolphins, both of which will forever serve as beautiful reminders of her spirit.

But perhaps one of the things that made Darlene so special was the love she shared with everyone around her. As her children were growing up, she became known throughout the neighborhood as “Mama Darlene.” She wasn't just a mother to her own children; she was someone the neighborhood kids could turn to. She was always willing to offer advice, lend an ear to listen, or simply provide a warm and welcoming place to feel loved. Her kindness, loving heart, and comforting presence made her someone people naturally gravitated toward. She had a way of making people feel welcomed, heard, and cared for.

To her grandchildren, she was more than a grandmother; she was their beloved Glamma. Her love and the memories made with her will live on through each generation. Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort in knowing that the love she gave will never fade. She will continue to be remembered in family stories, treasured memories, and the little moments that remind us of her.

Darlene was preceded in death by her beloved son, David Lee Tilotta; her parents, Tiny Jr. Duke and Shaudah Duke; and her sister, Beth.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her loving husband, Wesley Perry; her son, Nathan Tilotta, and wife, Heather Tilotta, of Rye, Texas; and her cherished grandchildren: grandson Shane Tilotta and fiancée Jojo of Rye, Texas, and granddaughters Mary and Tayler Tilotta of Rye, Texas.

She is also survived by her stepson, Jason Perry, and wife, Beverly; her stepdaughter, Sally Rivera, and husband, Ray; her sister, Sharon Hodge, and Mike; her nephew, Zach, and wife, Hailey; her sister, Trandy; along with numerous step-grandchildren and extended family members who will miss her dearly.

Though we must say goodbye for now, we take comfort in knowing that Heaven has gained another angel. Her journey here may have ended, but the kindness she shared, the lives she touched, and the love she gave will remain with us forever.

Until we meet again, Glamma. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
