Glenda Lynnette Canaday, 60, of Providence Forge, VA, passed away unexpectedly Monday August 24, 2020. Glenda accepted Christ at an early age. She had a passion for Christ and the New Kent Christian Women’s Ministry. Glenda was also passionate about people as evident by her chosen career as a hairdresser for many years. She loved to show her love by feeding everyone, whether it be in her home or taking meals to the homes of others. If you were hungry when you left her house, it was your own fault. Glenda was a nurturer and encourager and always had an uplifting word for everyone she came in contact with. Glenda also had a love for the outdoors which included gardening and camping.
