It is with heavy hearts and deep love that the Renard family announces the passing of Glinda Ann Monier Renard, our matriarch and beloved wife, mother, and “Granny.” Glinda passed away peacefully in the late evening hours of Thursday, October 23, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her loving family. She was 82 years old.
Glinda was born on March 6, 1943, in Abbeville, Louisiana, to the late Milton Monier and the late Emma Mouton Monier—the only child born to that union—and was raised in a family deeply rooted in Cajun heritage.
In 1961, while out with friends at the Airport Club in Abbeville, Glinda met a young man named Clifford Renard. That chance meeting blossomed into a beautiful romance, and two years later, they were united in holy matrimony. Together, they built a loving home and raised two children, David and Stacey. Glinda devoted her life to her family as a homemaker, taking great pride in caring for her husband, children, and home. She filled her home with warmth, love, and the beauty of her many plants and flowers.
Glinda found joy in the simple pleasures of life and in the company of family and friends. The Renard home was always a gathering place—where meals were lovingly prepared and shared. She was known for her delicious cooking and baking, especially her famous chocolate delight. Glinda also cherished her time with the ladies of her Bunco club, while the men played bourrée nearby, creating many cherished memories full of laughter and friendship. She and Clifford also enjoyed traveling extensively throughout the United States and taking cruises together, making memories that would last a lifetime.
Above all, Glinda lived a life guided by faith, family, and friendship. Her heart of gold touched all who knew her. Though her passing leaves a deep void, her love and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends. We let her go with sorrow but rejoice in knowing that one day we will be reunited again in Heaven. Until that precious day, rest well, Glinda—you have earned your heavenly reward.
Those left to cherish her memory include her devoted husband and best friend of 62 years, John Clifford Renard; her children, David Renard and wife Beth, and Stacey Renard; her beloved grandchildren, Joshua Renard (Erin Cook) and their children Weston, Walker, and Wyatt; Emily Renard, Haleigh Young, Lindsey Brasseaux (Blake) and their children Everly, Ira, Scout, Avery, and Emma; and Madison Young.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents, Clovis and Alizenat LeFleur Monier, and Lessin and Celima David Mouton.
