Glenna Ball

Glenna Ball, age 93, was most recently living near her family in South Elgin, IL. Prior to moving to Illinois she was in Somerset, KY for most of the last 20 years.

Glenna was born on March 1, 1932 in Bethel, KY to the late Charles Everett Thomas and Mattie Josephine Hill. She was preceded in death by her husband Charles Lindle Ball, whom she married on November 20, 1948 in Mt. Vernon, KY and he passed away in Mesa, AZ on April 24, 2005. 

She is survived by one daughter Brenda S. Gildemeister (Alan R.) and preceded in death by her son Charles Wayne Ball (Marianne) and her 12 grandchildren.  Brenda's kids are Justin Luman, Zachary Luman, Emily Berg, Kathrine Barr, Sarah DeBord, Seth Luman, Trevor Luman, and Abigail Luman.  Wayne's kids are Amy Ball, Amanda Beckman, Erin Ball, and Hannah Shipman. 

Glenna was the second youngest daughter of 9 and she was the last living of them all.  Howard Thomas, Mabrey Cox, Reba Little, Ruth Cordell, Alma Thomas, Marjorie Gilreath, Valda Douglas, and Charles Thomas Jr.

Grandma's interest towards the end of her life was spending time with her family, listening to and watching Jimmy Swaggart.  She was an Elvis fan.  Glenna was an amazing cook and enjoyed keeping her house spotless.  She had a love of dogs and enjoyed almost all that she encountered and they loved her. 

A brief viewing will be held at Lake Cumberland Funeral Home from 9:30am until 10:00am on December 30th, followed by a graveside service at 11:00am at Bethel Cemetery in McCreary County.  Bro. Gary Clark will officiate the service.
