Candler - Glenda Faye Harris Trunkfield, age 80, peacefully passed away on Thursday, July 20, 2023 at Solace Center in Asheville, NC. She was a beloved grandmother, mother, sister, wife, and friend.

Glenda Faye was born in Hopkins County, KY to Anna Faynell Alexander Harris and Carl Harris.

In 1963, she married Art Trunkfield and together they raised four children: Timothy Sean (deceased), Christopher "Kit" Wayne (deceased), Paige Trunkfield Sergeant, and Courtney Trunkfield Hamner. Glenda Faye found immense joy in being a cherished grandmother to Anna Hamner (20), Elise Hamner (18), and Gillian Sergeant (16).
