Obituary of Glenda Kaye Kendall

Glenda graduated from Sapulpa High School. She then met James Roy Kendall, and they married on April 30, 1955, in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. She worked as a waitress, in retail and as a homemaker.

She loved cooking for her family, sewing, and playing the piano and accordion in her early years. For many years, her and her oldest sister Phyllis would travel to many churches to perform music and praise the Lord. She loved going to gospel concerts to watch her favorites: “The Goodman Family” and “The Ledbetter family”. She also loved board games with her mom Zeda and sister Elsie, shopping and eating at restaurants, venturing out to casinos from time to time, church, worshipping the Lord, and her family. She selflessly made many sacrifices for those she loved.
