September 27, 1956 – March 8, 2024
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our mom, Glenna. She passed away comfortably in the early morning of March 8 with us by her side.
Mom is predeceased by; her dad Henry, mom Evelyn, husband Bill and brother Daryll. She will be forever loved and missed by her daughter Kari, son Mitch (Terra), sister Elaine (Ken), grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and her fur babies Willie, Taz and Levi.
Mom spent her early years growing up in Chilliwack and eventually moved to Surrey/Delta where she worked and raised her family. Mom was an avid ball player who dominated first base and kept the outfield on their toes when she was at bat. When she wasn’t playing her own ball, she was still at the field coaching and cheering on her kids.
In 1998, mom met the love of her life, Bill, through a radio station dating line, they made an instant connection and shared a life together for 19 years. They loved road trips, often holding hands along the drive and taking in the beauty of B.C. They moved to Chase in 2013, immediately falling in love with its small-town vibe, the lake, and the people.
Mom had a passion for bowling and playing darts; she would fire a dart or bowling ball with accuracy and force. The friendship and support of her bowling/dart family meant a great deal to her, especially after the loss of her husband in 2017.
Mom endured many years of ongoing health challenges, including two separate lung transplants that she faced with courage, strength, and positivity. Mom showed us how to never give up hope, to always rise to a challenge and fight with grace. Her unwavering grit and determination to make the best of every moment is a true testament to the strong, amazing woman she was.
Through thoughtful gestures, mom always went above and beyond to let you know she cared and was thinking of you, but don’t be fooled, if she felt you had wronged her, you’d be sure to get a phone call! Family was everything to mom, and one of her greatest highlights was being Great Granny G to Declan, Paisley, and Mya. Mom loved crafts and spent endless hours scrapbooking, cardmaking, sewing, doing diamond art and macrame. She was always trying new recipes and the family will especially miss her delicious desserts.
Mom had an infectious laugh and was famous for her silly faces and funny noises. The past few summers mom enjoyed going out on the family boat, taking in the views, and soaking up the sun.
Mom, you were always our biggest fan, our loudest cheerleader, and our fiercest protector; our boat rides, ballgames and life just won’t be the same without you. We will forever cherish our memories and you will always be in our hearts.
Love you.
