Glenda Jean Shealy

Glenda Jean Shealy age 77, of Villa Rica, Georgia, passed away on July 14, 2026.

As a lifelong believer in the importance of education, Mrs. Shealy earned her Master's Degree in Education from the University of West Georgia. She dedicated more than 33 years to shaping the lives of countless students throughout her teaching career. She served at Waco Elementary, Bill Arp Elementary, Arbor Station Elementary, and ultimately retired from Mount Carmel Elementary, where she was admired by colleagues, students, and families for her dedication, and love of teaching.

Beyond her career, Glenda found her greatest joy in her family. She excelled at being "Grammy" and cherished every opportunity to watch her grandchildren grow. She eagerly anticipated the birth of her first great-grandchild, a blessing that filled her with excitement and hope.

An avid reader, she could often finish a book in just a day or two. She found peace, relaxation, and happiness with a good book in hand on the beach. She loved laughing, talking, and making lasting memories with those she loved. Holidays and special occasions were among her favorite times of the year. She celebrated each one with enthusiasm and decorated her home and prepared treasured family recipes that created traditions and memories her family will cherish for generations.

Her kindness, warmth, love, and joyful spirit touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, former students, and all whose lives she enriched, but her love, laughter, and the memories she created will live on in their hearts forever.
