Glenda Kay Kelly (Gates) was born August 8, 1938 in Galveston, TX. She passed peacefully August 17, 2020. She attended Wichita State for college where she met the love of her life, Mike. Glenda & Mike married June 18, 1958 and celebrated their 60th anniversary together.

She was a proud housewife & stay-at-home mom to her five children for many years. In her younger days, Glenda spent time china painting, making dolls, needlepointing and crocheting. She was also an avid reader and book collector, ranging from English history to her Book of Tassels. Later in life, she enjoyed spending time with family, watching HGTV and the Discovery channel where she learned an unusual amount of obscure information pertaining to animals and nature.

Glenda's passion & drive for life came from Mike; after he passed, her life wasn't the same. Our family is at peace knowing she is back in his arms to live for eternity in the Kingdom of God. Her love & constant unending support of her entire family will be incredibly missed. Her stories & legacy will live on in her family forever. May she rest in peace in the arms of her soul-mate & Our Lord.
