Glenna, born on October 16th, 1946 to Glenn and Edna Perkins in Youngstown, Ohio, immediately brought joy and laughter into the world. Glenna went on to graduate from Poland Seminary High School. After graduating from high school, Glenna went on to pursue an Associates degree at Youngstown State University.
In 1975, she met Doug through the church bowling league and the two were inseparable from that point on. Glenna and Doug were married for over 43 years and had three children, James(J.G), Sara, and Jennifer.
Glenna was a fiercely dedicated mother to all of her children, raising all three of them to go on to accomplish great things. Family came first and was above all else to Glenna, a value she instilled in all those around her. The hole left by her absence is impossible to fill.
Glenna was predeceased by her parents, Glenn and Edna Perkins. She is survived by her husband Douglas McKelvey, children James (J.G.), Sara, Jennifer. Her granddaughters, Brittany, Nicola, Nora, great granddaughter Hazel, and her brother Bill Perkins.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Glenna’s name to The Nashville Zoo.
