She adored her six great-grandchildren. Glenna was very active in her community and First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). She was among the first members of Friends of Hospice and later served as its president. She served on the boards of Community Hospice and Kings Daughters Medical Center. She was a past presi-dent of the KDMC Medical Auxiliary, held a leadership position in the Boyd County Medical Alli-ance and was treasurer of the Ashland Civic League. She volunteered at KDMC, delivered Meals on Wheels, and also served on the Board of Directors and was Secretary of the Ashland Senior Center/Boyd County Counsel on Aging, Inc., for many years. Glenna was an avid reader, worker of crossword puzzles and fan of Jeopardy. She and her hus-band Paul loved to cook and eat all types of cuisine. For the last several years, “Nana” Glenna contributed weekly recipes for publication in the Greater Ashland Beacon newspaper. Always willing, and honored, to provide food for any event, some of her most requested foods were her famous cucumber sandwiches, Snickerdoodles and her Mt. Dew cakes. Glenna was an energetic, dynamic and truly special person for all of her 96 years on this earth and was inspiring to all who knew her. Though Heaven is rejoicing, she will be sadly missed by her family and friends and will forever be remembered as “Nana” to her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
