I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7

Our dear sweet, wife, mother, sister, daughter and grandma passed away December 24, 2016 due to complications incident to age. What a joyous reunion was had for Christmas with those who had gone before her! She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah February 12, 1930 to LaGrand and Clara Terry. She married Joel Willis Burdette on February 18, 1951 in Ft. Riley, Kansas. This marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They were the parents to five daughters who love them dearly. After Joel's death in 1986, she married Duane Welling on June 29, 2007.

Glenis was an excellent cook – famous for her homemade rolls drizzled in orange frosting, BBQ beef briskit and sumptuous marshmallow brownies. She enjoyed decorating her daughter's birthday cakes and loved to entertain, teach gospel lessons, attend YW camp, boating and supporting her daughter's athletic events. She was an avid UofU fan and had season tickets to Runnin' Utes Basketball games. She lived a full life of activity boating at Lake Powell and also loved to go on cruises. She was a faithful member of the LDS Church and had a firm testimony in her Savior Jesus Christ.

Glenis had two brothers and four sisters. She was preceded in death by her parents, her first husband Joel, daughter Heather and both of her brothers and one sister. She is survived by her wonderful, loving, attentive and compassionate husband Duane who selflessly cared for her every day until her passing.

The family would like to thank Glenis' hospice nurses Renee and Laura from IHC and the staff at the North Canyon Care Center for their attentive care.
