Active in the United Way, the Clark County Prayer Breakfast and Junior Achievement — and that list is no where near extensive.

“(She was) a very giving — and gifted person too,” her brother said.

Greenwood passed away at Hospice of Dayton on Monday.
She was only 63 years old, but she lived a life that most could only dream of.
Her brother said five months ago, she was climbing glaciers in Iceland — just one of the nearly 15 countries and four continents she had visited.
But Michael Greenwood said though all of his sister’s accomplishments are impressive, he’ll remember her most for her dedication to her family.
Glenda was one of four siblings — the rose in the middle of three thorns, Douglas, Michael and Jonathan.
Michael said she absolutely adored her seven nieces and nephews and took each one of them on a special trip of their choosing when they were between 12 and 14 years old — an Alaskan cruise, Puerto Rico and even when THE Ohio State Buckeyes played in the National Championship game.
“She called them up every weekend while they were at college. She never missed sending cards for significant birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions,” he said.

Greenwood was preceded in death by her father, who founded Berea Bible Church in Springfield, where she was a member.
Her brother said that’s what he would want a stranger on the street to know about Glenda — she lived out her faith to the fullest.
“Her faith was extremely important to her. Her involvement in the church was number one for her and that resonated the rest of her life,” he said.
A gathering of family and friends will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday at Berea Bible Church and 10:30 a.m. to noon Monday.
A celebration of life will follow Monday’s visitation.
Berea Bible Church is located at 3850 Derr Rd. in Springfield.
