Glodene Reynolds, 78, Grand Prairie, Texas, passed away peacefully on December 20, 2024. Born in Red Bird, Oklahoma, the fifth child of twelve. She loved dancing, laughing, partying with her family, taking annual sister trips with her four sisters and enjoying life. She was a fashion-diva from a very young age and loved coordinating her church outfits with the right hat. She had blessed growing hands and was passionate about her plants. Glodene was a dedicated and protective mom to three daughters, one daughter-in-law, one son, and one son-in-law. Granny to seven grandsons, four granddaughters, four great grandsons, and three great granddaughters. She was a second mother to many over the years and welcomed many to sit and eat at her dinner table. She was an excellent cook, devoted to serving her church home and being a best sister-friend. Glodene also loved spending quality time with her friends. They enjoyed shared meals, long adventurous road trips and walks along the water’s edge.

I am happy and privileged to have the acquaintance of this remarkable lady.
We met through our shared love for our grandchildren Ciarra and Cameron Johns. I will remember Glodene with fondness.
My condolence to the entire family
She was a dear friend of mine when we attended Stepping Stones Church in Mckinney. We got on facebook together and the rest is history. She was a sweet, delightful person. Did not know her death was near. I am devastated. Prayers for her family….
Rest well Granny Glo, you’ve always made feel like I was part of the family, I’ll miss that beautiful smile and warm embrace. We got it from here, love you granny
Praying that the family will find comfort in knowing that the Lord feels your pain and sorrow. I will continue lift the family up in prayer. I grew up with your mother and it was always a joy when we were able to see each other over time. We would pick up just like in the old days when everyone was like sisters and brothers. That’s the joy and blessing of being raised in Red Bird, Oklahoma. She will always be in my heart and thoughts forever.
To the Family of Glodene Reynolds I can’t begin to let you know how she will be missed but God Loved her more and she won’t be forgotten with that special smile and her kindness.
