Glendora had worked at Bell South. She was also a teacher’s aide for many years at Thompson Elementary School in Jacksonville. Outside of her working career, she also proudly served as a volunteer with the Onslow Memorial Hospital auxiliary.

She was a loving mother and grandmother and a good friend to many. Glendora is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Benetta and Jack Turner, her son and daughter-in-law, Frank and Susan Quinn, her daughter, Julienne Heitkemper, and her grandchildren, Cameron, Bradley and Holly Heitkemper, and Hannah (Eric) Hughes and Lucas Quinn.

Glendora loved all kinds of roses, so flowers are a lovely gift, but, as an alternative please consider giving to Carolina Caring hospice services in Catawba County.
