Glenna was the only cool adult I knew as a teenager. She made her house a welcome place to anyone who stopped by... with a glass of Glennamade Lemonade, good conversation with an insatiable sense of humor, and any food or snacks she had on hand. My debt to her and all of you is completely eternal. She had enough love for the whole world!!!
Love and prayers to all the Reas and Spears.

I was deeply saddened to read about the passing of Mama Rea. Boy do I have alot of good memories hanging out at her house in high school. She sure was good to all of us. She was a "Mom" to us all and always made us feel welcome. My deepest sympathies to Chris, Fish, Zane, Syd and the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
RIP Glenna

I was so sad to hear of Glenna's passing. I worked with her for many years at St. Vincent's hospital, she had the kindest heart, and it certainly was a joy to see her everyday. She quickly became my "work mother" with her witty sense of humor, and her nurturing personality. She was very proud of all her children and grandchildren, and often shared stories about her family. She was such a lovely person. My condolences and prayers to the family.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom , grandma, mother in law etc. As for me she will always be my Momma Rea. She treated all of us like her own children. She always had that welcoming loving smile. As for her lemonade , it went great with vodka

Chris, Fish, Zach, and Cyd,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a very special “Gramma Glenna “ to my Amanda . She was my friend and I loved her dearly.
I can envision Glenna having lunch with Jean Mee, picking up where they left off, the last time they saw each other.
Love you kiddos,
Susan “Floyd”

What can I say Glenna? You were like a 2nd mom to me growing up. I can't count the times I'd show up in the middle of the night and you would open the door and say, "Theres the couch, you know where the blankets are." And your Glennamade is still untopped!! Thank you for everything.
Your Danger Dave

I was truly saddened to hear about Glenna. I loved spending the night at her house. She was the best cook and yes made the best lemonade. Remembering spending time with Cyd and her mom were truly happy memories. Love and prayers to all the family.

My heart breaks to hear the passing of one of my best friends. I was half her age but we could tell each other everything. We worked together for many years and she made my work day so much better. She was a wonderful friend and Mother. She would talk about her kids and grandkids every single day. She was so proud of every single one of them.
My mother called Glenna my second mom and that she was. I loved her so much. My condolences go out to Glenna’s family.
RIP My Friend. You will always be in my Heart ❤️
