Glynda, a true example of a southern lady, was a long time member of the First Baptist Church of Broussard. She had a strong faith and was the rock and center of her family as she exhibited her Christian faith daily. Glynda cherished spending time with her family, especially her precious grandbaby's.

A heartfelt appreciation is extended by the Bodiford family to The Carpenter House-St. Hospice for the compassionate care given to our loved one during her time of need, and also to Dr. Tyler Perrin-Bellelo.
