Glenna May Price

Glenna May Price, 82, of Richland, passed away May 28, 2013 after a vibrant life full of family and friends. She was born in Lake Chelan, Washington to Glen and Theodosia Leyda. She married Mervin (Mel) Price in 1962 and moved to Moses Lake where they raised two daughters, Diane and Darlene. Glenna was known for her creative landscaping in the desert climate, generously displaying multi-colored plastic flowers and yard ornaments. Although the work was hard, Glenna enjoyed working with her friends from Sunspiced, where she retired in 1993. Eight years ago, she moved to the Three Rivers Retirement Apartments in Richland to be closer to family. Her biggest challenge in moving to the Tri-Cities was downsizing her knickknack collection to a couple hundred of her most favorite items. She enjoyed helping others, playing rummy, watching Walker Texas Ranger, and sharing her favorite snacks-Ritz crackers, Hershey's kisses, and the occasional Nutter Butter cookie.

Glenna is preceded in death by her husband, Mel; sister, Clara Dudley; and brother, Richard Leyda. She is survived by her daughters Diane (Tony) Jackson; Darlene (Jerry) Melland; grandchildren Duane (Jodi) Melland, Becky (Paris) Holt, Debbie (Joe) Crocker, and Kriste (Thomas) Grego; great-grandchildren Jinée (James), Jordyn, Dakota (Ashley), Alex, Jaxxon, Chaz, Zack, Isabella, Tyler, and Addison; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.

A celebration of Glenna's life will be held on Saturday, June 8, at the Hampton Inn in Richland at 2:00. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, www.stjude.org.
