Peacefully, with family by her side, Glenda passed away at Concordia Hospital on April 19, 2022, at the age of 87.
Glenda was predeceased by her parents, Florence and Everett Hamm, and her 2 brothers, Jim and Graydon.
She leaves behind her husband of 69 years, Glen, daughter, Pamela (Gordon Park), son Glenn (Margaret Sweatman), grandchildren Jennifer, Dorian, Erin, Stephen, and Nicolas; great-grandchildren, Eloise, Jackson, Lachlan, Xavier, and Jack. As well her ‘added on’ family, granddaughters Andrea, Jocelyn, Bailey, and Hillery and their families whom she welcomed wholeheartedly without hesitation.
Glenda was a remarkable woman. She became a ‘stay at home’ mom at 17 and then went on to pursue a career at the age of 41 which included solo driving trips to Northern Manitoba to deliver retirement seminars to Provincial employees.
She was an accomplished curler, golfer, and lawn bowler. She won Manitoba championships in curling at both regular and senior levels and was honoured on the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame. She was also a member of a Canadian Championship lawn bowling team. She was a better than average golfer and was an organizer of leagues at both Kildonan Park and Shooters golf courses.
She was a pristine homemaker and a home decorator extraordinaire. She was known for her empathy, her hospitality, her love of music, and especially her laughter.
We would like to acknowledge the compassionate care received from all the staff at Concordia hospital. On two occasions 2 different people used the word ‘feisty’ when describing Glenda. Truer words were never spoken!
There will be no formal service, but we know that all who knew her will celebrate her life through memories of her. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Winnipeg Humane Society, or other charity of your choice, on her behalf. Anyone who knew Glenda knows she was an avid animal lover whose many pets had a very excellent lifetime with her!
