Glenna's personality was larger than life! Her passions were music and singing. She loved all types of music but she really enjoyed country music and listening and dancing to Tina Turner's tunes. She even went to Nashville where she participated as a contestant in a singing contest fashioned like American Idol. Glenna also had a strong love of watching General Hospital and in having political debates with friends and family. She had an adoration for animals and had rescued and cared for many critters over her 77 years.

Colvin, Jr. and Robert Glenn Colvin and his wife Teresa. Her two grandchildren Barbara and Logun Colvin were the apples of her eyes. Likewise, she loved her two dogs Remi and Little Daisy and she said they were her "best nurses."
Other survivors include her sister Anita Moore of PA, and many nieces and nephews. While she loved them all, Ashley Salerno and her two children Niklaus and Davina had a special place in her heart.
