Glenwodyne was a member of the Preston United Methodist Church in Preston, Georgia and the Women's Club. She served as a guest hostess at the Governor's Mansion and the White House when Jimmy Carter served as our United States President. She loved nothing more than spending time with her husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.
Her favorite holidays were Thanksgiving and Christmas, where she could decorate her home and yard beautifully for both occasions. Having her family at home every Christmas Eve was quite possibly the highlight of the year for all. Her children will miss her but they are left with some of the sweetest memories, that will last until they are reunited again.
