Glenna Jo Haddix's Obituary
Glenna Jo Haddix, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at The 1907 at Central School Assisted Living.
Born on March 1, 1937, in Mill Creek, West Virginia, Glenna was the cherished daughter of Harvey Denver and Dorothy Phyllis (née Currence) Smith. She graduated from Mill Creek High School in 1955. She then went on to dedicate many years of her life to her family as a mother and homemaker. When her children were grown she started a career as a property manager with ABC Management Company. She was known for her strong work ethic, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to everything she pursued.
Glenna found joy in the simple pleasures of life—she was an avid reader, particularly of mystery novels, and loved going to the movies. Her home was her sanctuary, always kept orderly, neat and clean, reflecting the pride and care she put into every aspect of her life. She was kind, thoughtful, and endlessly generous, never speaking a harsh word about anyone. To know Glenna was to love her—she was truly a gift from God to everyone she met.
She is survived by her loving children, Kathy Jo (David) Garcia, Michael V. (Yvette) Haddix, and Terri Sue Laschen; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. She also leaves behind her brother, Paul Dennis Smith, and her sister, Connie (Earl) Light.
Glenna was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Dorothy Smith, and her beloved brothers, Glenn (her twin), Larry, and Randy Smith.
