Glenda Bernardin Obituary
Glenda was fun, exciting, caring, loving and just the right amount of crazy. She didn't take life for granted and she never put up with anyone's nonsense. Her presence lit up every room, and the memories she created will continue to bring smiles and stories for years to come.
She loved her family deeply. Glenda had a beautiful creative soul and enjoyed anything hands-on and crafty. She especially loved creating floral arrangements, making art, and bringing beauty into the world. She was adventurous at heart and found joy in mining, gambling, and spending time with family and friends.
Glenda is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Tina and Ervin Smith; her grandchildren, Tyanne Woodyard Smith and Eric Smith; her sister, Mary Minor, and Mary's children Joey, Jody, and Robin Minor; her niece Brenda Madole-Roan and her husband Lanny Roan, and their children Justin Roan, Casey Roan, and Kristin Roan-Coolidge; and many more family members and friends who loved her deeply.
From Tina: "Having her as my mother consumed me with a fiery mix of frustration and wild devotion, yet the pure, unwavering love she poured into every gesture and word would wipe away every grievance, every mistake. My love for her knows no bounds it's fierce, enduring, and boundless. Life with my mother was an exhilarating rollercoaster of joy and laughter, a whirlwind of unforgettable moments that fill my heart with warmth. These precious memories we forged together are treasures I will cherish forever, etched into the very fabric of my soul."
Details regarding a celebration of life are not yet available. Please watch Glenda's Facebook page for updates. The family is considering holding a gathering after the New Year.
Glenda's wild spirit, loving heart, and unforgettable personality will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
