Glenda Francis Kendle

Glenda Francis Kendle, 82, of Stillwater, went to be with her savior on the evening January 16, 2012 with her family by her side. Services have been entrusted to the care of Palmer Marler Funeral Home and a graveside service was held at 11:00am Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at Grace Hill Cemetery in Perry, OK.
Glenda was born on September 14, 1929 in Perry, Oklahoma. She was raised and attended schools in the Perry area. Glenda spent several years working at Dr. Franciss office and waitressing at the Corner Lunch Restaurant. In 1945, Glenda married Howard Kendle. The couple had four children: Terry, Alan, Gemma, and Nick.
In the early 1980s, Glenda relocated to Casa Grande, AZ to be near her son Nick. In the late 1980s, the family moved to Las Vegas, NV, but returned to Casa Grande, AZ a few years later. Glenda was very active in Casa Grande, attending the local Church of Christ, a church womens group, and many bible studies. In 2007, Glenda returned to Oklahoma and settled at the Legacy Park Apartments in Stillwater.
Glenda Kendle loved life. She enjoyed fishing and tending to her garden. She was a wonderful cook and was never happier than when she was cooking a meal to enjoy with her family. Glenda had an infectious smile and she loved to laugh. You didnt have to be around her long before you knew how much she loved the Lord. She had a caring and giving heart and a positive attitude. Even after a difficult diagnosis, Glenda kept her cheerful spirit and beautiful smile.
Her 82 years of life can be described in a few short words: deep faith, unconditional love, and joyous laughter. Glenda was a wonderful mother, a proud grandmother, a faithful Christian, and a loyal friend. She left her mark on many lives and will truly be missed by those whom she touched.
She is survived by her daughter, Gemma Loveless. Two sons: Nick W. Kendle and Alan J. Kendle. A sister: Peggy Brady. A brother: Bill Webb. She is also survived by seven grandchildren, as well as several great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Iva Greer. A son: Terry Ray Kendle. Two Brothers: Bob Webb and Kenneth Webb.
The family wishes to thank the staff at Grace Living Center and the staff of Judith Karman Hospice for their care, compassion, and love. Special thanks to Holly Harbin for her kindness and the very special relationship she had with Glenda.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Glendas name to Judith Karman Hospice in care of Palmer Marler Funeral Home, 5106 N. Washington, Stillwater, OK 74075.
