Glenda Nell Pierce

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glenda Nell Pierce, who left us on June 17, 2023, at the Baptist Calhoun Nursing Home, at the age of 76. Glenda will be dearly missed by her family and all who knew her.

Glenda was born on November 5, 1946 in Calhoun City, Mississippi. She was the daughter of hardworking parents who instilled in her a strong work ethic that she carried throughout her life. Glenda attended South Calhoun High School and after graduation embarked on a career as a seamstress with Kellwood Manufacture. After many years of dedicated service, Glenda retired and enjoyed spending time with loved ones.

Glenda was a loving mother to Timothy Pierce, Andrea Pierce Bolden, Gloria Pierce, and Patricia Pierce. She also cherished time spent with her four brothers, Frank, Lyndale, Danny, Barry Corbitt and sister Mary Cole. Her family meant the world to her.

In addition to being a devoted mother and sibling, Glenda was known for her passion for quilting and making homemade ice cream and fried pies. Her masterpieces were beloved by all who had the pleasure of trying them.

A visitation will be held on June 23rd at Church of the Living God located at 136 Willis Avenue in Calhoun City from 10:00 AM-11:00 AM. The funeral service is set to begin at 11:00 AM immediately following visitation hours on June 23rd at Church of the Living God as well. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Glenda's children Timothy Pierce and Andrea Pierce Bolden during this difficult time.

Glenda Nell Pierce was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Wayne Pierce; father, W. C. Corbitt; mother, Della Grace Corbitt; sisters Patricia Pierce, Gloria Pierce; brothers, Barry Lee Corbitt, and James Clyde Corbitt.

We extend our deepest sympathies to all those Glenda left behind, Frank Corbitt, Lyndale Corbitt, Danny Lee Corbitt and her sister Mary Cole. To all who knew her, please remember the warmth and goodness that Glenda brought into the world. She will be missed dearly.
