Glenys was born on April 29, 1921 near Aberystwyth, Wales and immigrated to Canada at the age of six, living in the Drumheller area. She married Jim in 1941 and together they farmed in the Verdant Valley community until moving to Calgary in 1975. Glenys will be most remembered for her love and devotion to her family. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren and was always up for playing games. Glenys had a wonderful sense of humour and enjoyed joking around, even if at her own expense.
