Glenna Brown Obituary
Glenna was born on June 13, 1953, in Caldwell County to the late Henry Junior Ford and Nina Earlene Coffey Ford.

She is survived by her husband of 27 years, Willis "Charlie" Arnold Brown; her son, Mikeal Morris and wife Johnnie; her grandsons, Dalton Morris (Kylie), Dylan Morris (Gracie), and Davis Morris; her brothers, William Ford Sr. and Larry Ford and wife Vickie; her sister, Cathy Greene; her brother-in-law, Gary Miller Sr.; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
