Glenda Ruth (Pickett) Stinecipher, born on August 5, 1941, in New Chapel Hill, Texas, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2024. She was a devoted wife to James Stinecipher, with whom she shared 45 loving years of marriage. Glenda was known affectionately as "Grandmomma" to her cherished family. She found immense joy in spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, always prioritizing family gatherings and activities. Her passion for sports was evident, particularly her love for baseball, as she religiously followed the Texas Rangers and watched every game she could find. In addition to baseball, she enjoyed volleyball and supported her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in any sport they participated in. Beyond her love for sports, Glenda had a deep appreciation for nature. She loved working in her yard, planting flowers, and sitting on her back porch, watching the wildlife in the wooded area behind her home. Travel brought her great joy as well; she relished trips with family to casinos, camping, and hunting adventures. In her professional life, Glenda served as the Allergy Clinic Manager for over 30 years. However, her proudest accomplishments were the loving family she raised and the memories forged with her loved ones.
