After marriage, they raised their family in Alexandria and Lafayette, making Lafayette their home for the next 50 years. Glenda loved volunteering at UMC Hospital in the gift shop, designing floral arrangements for 30 years. She enjoyed spending time at their camp on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and loved traveling with Bill in their RV around the country as well as vacations taken to foreign countries. She will be truly missed by the many that loved her.
