Glenda Rae Schultz departed this world on September 18, 2021. She was reunited with beloved family members who she had missed so dearly. She has now found peace, rest, and healing in the arms of angels.

Glenda was born on August 17, 1958 to parents Bonnie Jean (Snodgrass) and Teddy Ray Morgan. She shared that birthday with her beloved twin sister Linda Kay. She grew up in Ponca City, Oklahoma in a house full of sisters. She said they lived a simple life, but they were happy and had each other.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Teddy Ray and Bonnie Jean Morgan; sisters, Roxie Ann, Linda Kay, and Sandra Sue (Hagar).

She is survived by her daughter, Miranda Lynn Wilson; granddaughter, Lacy Raelynn Wilson; grandson, Zachary Wayne Morgan; sisters, Cheryl Jean Jones and Vesta Pierce; aunt, Sharon Kay Newman (Snodgrass); several nieces, nephews and cousins, and many other family and friends who hold a special place in their hearts for her.

It is hard to sum up the measure of a person in a few paragraphs, but here is a small snapshot of Glenda. Glenda loved watching wrestling on TV, as was evident with the twinkle in her eye and the smile that spread across her face when she talked about it. She loved playing games like Candy Crush on her phone. She was forever forgetting her passwords, as was evident by her multiple Facebook accounts. She would just shake her head and shrug her shoulders and make a new account.

She enjoyed celebrating her August birthday at McDonald's, but missed her twin sister every year, making it a bittersweet celebration. Some of her favorite foods were fried chicken, peaches with cottage cheese, cream of chicken soup, and pot pies. When she gave up drinking sweet tea she was excited to find that peach herbal tea pleased her tastebuds. She loved the color pink and a bit of sparkle. When you tried to help her she would always say it was too much. Yet she would be the first to offer help to others.

Glenda loved the movie Pollyanna, and was an example of the real life version. She played the glad game by always finding good in others and events. Nothing seemed to keep her down certainly not for long.

She was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where her church family quickly fell in love with Glenda. She enjoyed attending church and reading her scriptures. She especially loved the scripture cigarettes that the sister missionaries made for her to help her quit smoking. She would read the scripture passages till her cravings passed. She loved the sister missionaries, but the love and acceptance they felt from her was everlasting and left them feeling more blessed.

When asked what she would do if she had a million dollars, she said she would open a shelter for homeless people because she knew what it was like to be on the street. Glenda exhibited a heart full of compassion. She would help others even if it meant she would do without. She had a very forgiving heart and did all she could to help take care of others. She understood a depth of charity that few discover.

Her health issues took a toll on her during the past few years. She was fearful of being alone because of her seizures. She was annoyed when she had to start using a walker to get around. That dimmed a little of her sparkle, but couldn’t completely squelch it. She loved to laugh and was quite hilarious. Her cheerful outgoing personality quickly won you over. She endured many hardships, but she never let them keep her down. She was resilient.

Glenda made a spot for herself in the hearts of many. We all have sweet memories and will be forever altered through our acquaintances with her. We have all learned something from her and will find small ways to carry her legacy on in our hearts. She is loved and that love we feel for her won’t stay with just us, because her example taught us to spread it and multiply it.
