She was a retired Vice President with the Lavalette State Bank. Glenna was an avid gardener and animal lover, past member of the Paw Taws Square Dance Club and past member of the United Methodist Women. To those who knew and loved her most, she was affectionally known as a juvenile delinquent and a spitfire to the end. She was a member of the Altizer Baptist Church. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Gene Johnson; two sons, Dale Staley and Gene Alan Johnson; two sisters, Blanche Spurlock and Gladys Thacker; brother, Howard Bailey; and a grandson, Robby Johnson.

Glenna’s heart was so big she extended her family by “adopting” more people as her own. Luckily, those she “adopted” knew they belonged to her. Viewing will be from 6 to 8 pm Monday at the Reger Funeral Home, Huntington. Condolences may be made at www.regerfh.com.
