She later worked at Monroe's for several years until the store closed. Glenna cleaned houses for others on the side and loved doing things for others including making meals, baking banana bread, and loved to make and decorate cakes for her family events and birthdays. 

She was a woman of simple tastes and interests. Glenna loved nothing more than spending time with her family. She loved being a mom, aunt, and grandma, family was everything to her. She loved attending all of her grandchildren's sporting events. She also enjoyed doing crafts with her beloved grandchildren and often sewed their Halloween costumes for them.
