Littlechild, (Vanstone) Glenda Joy, passed away peacefully on a beautiful spring day, on April 6, 2021.
Happily married to Larry for 43 years. She was the cherished mother of Laurie, Chuck and Tammie (Brent). Beloved grandmother of Dillon, Robin and Keaton. Predeceased by her mother Maria (Durnin), father Clifford Vanstone, husband Larry, brother Jim Vanstone, sisters Phyllis Fulford (Laird) and Patricia Thurlow. She will be missed by her sister Joan Vassella (Carl), brother Ted Vanstone (Nancy), sister- in- law Helen (Jim) and her extensive Littlechild family, also by her nieces, nephews and close friends.
Glenda enjoyed her daily walks and she would always stop to say “hello” to others. She showed immeasurable love for her family and friends. Glenda lived a full life and will be dearly missed.

My dearest condolences to Laurie, Chuck and Tammy and families. Although Glenda and I didn’t touch bases regularly, it was like no time had passed when we did. We have known each other since about 1969. She will be missed but oh what a reunion she and her beloved Larry would have had. Cheers Glenda !!!!!!!

Please extend my deepest condolences to my dear friend Laurie, Tammie/Brent, Chuck and the grandkids. Although my contact with your mom was via Laurie I do recall there was a lot of laughter. I smiled when I learned she had Joy as a middle name – very suitable. My heart does out to to all.

My deepest sympathy to Laurie, Chuck (Dillon), Tammie (Brent, Robin, Keaton) in the loss of a wonderful mother & grandmother. Glenda was like a sister to me. She was a strong woman with a beautiful caring heart. Made the best rhubarb pie & enjoyed her beer. Always gave a helping hand where needed. May she rest in peace with Larry by her side. Forever in my heart.

Love and condolences to Tammie,Brent,Robin & Keaton. Enjoyed many happy shared memories with your Mom. Glenda had a wicked sense of humour & the best dip recipe ever. At the spur of a moment, Glenda provided me & Connie overnight accommodation when we got a flat tire just outside Goderich. We chatted & laughed the evening away.
