Glenda, “Mimi” to loved ones, was born on October 8, 1940 in Mineral Wells, Texas, the daughter of the late Sam and Byrdie Garrett. After attending Texas Tech University, she met the love of her life, Paul W. Morgan and they married on September 26, 1966.

Paul and Glenda were able to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary the day before she was called to Heaven. In addition to being an athlete in marathons, golf, and bowling, Glenda was an avid sports enthusiast- knowing every detail from college and professional football to racecar drivers and golf. She was a member of Maitland Presbyterian Church in Maitland, FL since 1971 and belonged to a small group of seven devoted friends, the "Sept-Angels", who supported her through her long and arduous battle with cancer.
