Glennice P. Meckley, beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister, went home to be with the Lord, after passing away unexpectedly on July 16, at Akron City Hospital.

She was a 1964 graduate of Garfield High School, had worked as a sales manager for the Woolworth Co. in both Akron and Barberton, and was a faithful member of the Brown Street Church of Christ. Glennice lived life with gusto! She was a good listener who loved her grandkids and was always there to help others in their time of need. Glennice was an avid and accomplished quilter and was a member of a group called, 'the quilt sitters circle'. She loved helping all of her special friends at her favorite quilting store, A Piece in Time. Glennice was also an excellent cook and she loved collecting Longaberger Baskets.
