Glenda was born on April 18, 1947, in Aberdeen, Mississippi, to the late Johnny and Kathleen (Jackson) Little. Also preceded in death by her brother, Henry Little.

Glenda was a devoted Christian with an unwavering faith in God. She believed in being the “hands and feet” and served her family, friends, and community with grace and love. If you needed prayer, trust that she kept you covered. She gave love in many ways, but everyone could agree her cooking was one of the best. Chocolate pies would be at the top of many people’s list of favorites. Her family was her joy, and she cared for us so well. We are blessed to have been loved by her. The absence of her warmth and comfort will be missed by us all, but we are thankful to know we will be reunited one day.

We want to thank the staff at Monroe Regional Hospital for caring for her with compassion and love.
