She is predeceased by her brother Clayton Leigh (Jane) and her sister Audrey Scott (Doug). Glenna will also be fondly remembered by nieces, nephews and the many friends she acquired through the Evergreen Senior Centre and the congregation at Trinity United Church. Glenna graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in journalism from Western University in 1950 and at various times worked as a teacher, librarian and office manager.
