Glenna was born on April 11,1953 in Van Wert, Ohio to Robert Dunlap and Betty (Davis) Dunlap. She was a graduate of Lincolnview High School in 1971.

Glenna spent the majority of her life caring for children; mostly in home. All of the children she cared for became part of her family. She loved seeing her “kids” all grown up with their families. She also joined many church activities, mostly for children.

Over the last several years she attended Pioneer Christian Ministries.

One of her ways to be involved and helping was encouraging people through social media. She always prayed and gave uplifting words on social media to those who needed them.
