In Loving Memory of Glenda Faye Baldwin

Sunset: July 6, 2025 | Age 67

Dear Family and Friends,


It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Glenda Faye Baldwin, who left this world peacefully on July 6, 2025, at the age of 67.

Glenda was more than a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother—she was the heart of our family. Her love was unconditional, her strength quiet but unwavering, and her spirit full of grace. She carried herself with warmth and humility, and her presence brought comfort to all who knew her.

She was the devoted mother of Myles Smith, Codi Smith, Molly Smith, and Jessica Smith.

Glenda was the cherished daughter of the late Harold Bane Smith and Martha Crumley Smith Haney, who both preceded her in death. She is lovingly remembered by her sisters, Brenda White (Steve) of Lindale, GA, and Sheri Baker of Armuchee, GA; and her brother, Terry Smith of Rome, GA. She was preceded in death by two beloved brothers, Darrell Smith and Andy Smith.

Her love for her children was boundless, and through them, her beautiful legacy continues to grow. Glenda was also a proud grandmother to many cherished grandchildren and two precious great-grandchildren, each one touched by her kindness, stories, and gentle laughter.

Glenda’s life was defined by selfless love, quiet wisdom, and a deep devotion to her family. She gave without ever expecting in return. She listened with her heart. And she loved deeply, completely, and without limits.

She will be missed beyond measure and remembered always, with love that never fades.

With all our love and deepest gratitude,
