Glenda Sue Gross

On Friday, Aug. 16, 2019, Glenda Sue Gross, loving wife, mother of three children, and grandmother of four children, passed away at the age of 68 in Jacksonville, Fla., after a heart attack. Glenda was born March 27, 1951, in Blytheville, Ark., to Floyd and Gertrude (Martin) Ash.

Glenda was preceded in death by her father and mother; her son, Floyd; and six of her siblings, Roy, Troy, Willard, Alvin, Pat, and Alice.

She is survived by her husband, Kenneth; her children, Patrick and Patricia; her brother, Rick; her stepchildren, Frankie, Manny and Lena; her grandchildren, Emily, PJ, Evan, Ally, Dennis, Michael, Charlie and Jack; her son-in-law, Brian; her daughter-in-law, Janelle; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Glenda had a multi-faceted career, with a multitude of diverse jobs. Her jobs are what she did for a living, but what she lived for was her kids and grandkids. She is well known as the best maker of fried chicken and peanut butter cake, and was already ready with a hug and kind word for anyone who needed it.
