The family wishes to thank all those at Baptist Memorial High Rise and Baptist Memorials Division 5 for filling her life with laughter and love. Memorials may be made to Baptist Memorial Hospice Center.

Glenora left this world as she lived it …. her own terms. Stubbornly hanging on to this earth until after Valentine’s Day. We know it was her last gift to us.
