Keener (Sonny). She is survived by her children, Terri Sharpton, Danny, Steve and Greg Keener. Glenda Keener attended Hebron Baptist Church. She served as a nurse in NICU, oncology and labor & delivery for over 20 years. She was married for over 50 years to Sonny, an Air Force pilot who retired after 21 years. She was an extremely creative, smart, loving and beautiful person. Her interests were diverse. She loved sewing, antiques, gardening, cooking, baking, stories, traveling and people, especially babies and children. She could give comfort and joy to anyone with just her presence, whether it was with her smile, words or her medical knowledge. It was always evident that Jesus was at her side helping her to give just the right words and comfort if needed for that person. She had many friends and those that were closest to her felt blessed to have had her in their lives. Family was very important to her. She was a loving, strict and devoted mother. She was the glue and loving guide to them. Glenda Keener will be greatly missed.
