Glenda Lee Schlecht, age 79, of Hillsdale, passed away Thursday, March 26, 2026, at Beacon Hospital in Kalamazoo. Glenda was born March 14, 1947, to Harry Runkel and Lillian Butler in Adrian, Michigan. She married David Schlecht in 1974, and he preceded her in death.

Glenda graduated from Hillsdale Adult Education, and she went on to work for Quincy Stamping which later became SKD for over 20 years. She was a homebody who loved hanging out with her grandkids around a fire and tending to her plants and flowers. Glenda will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Survivors include two children, Aaron (Aníta Ledesma) Schlecht of Coldwater, and Stacy (Jason) Dewey of Camden; seven grandchildren, Koré, Lyrra, Zayne, Mylo, Mya, Hunter, Weston, Corbin, Franklin, and Lauren; one honorary daughter, Kristina Morris; two great-grandchildren, Rhiley, and Roman; and one brother, Tom.

In addition to her husband, Glenda was preceded in death by her parents, and three siblings, Marlene, Harold, and Charlotte.

A Celebration of Life for Glenda Schlecht will be held at a later date. Arrangements have been made under the guidance of VanHorn-Eagle Funeral Home in Hillsdale.
