Glenna Mozella Wallace
- Glenna Mozella Wallace of Knoxville, TN., has entered Heaven’s Gates and into the arms of Jesus. Mozella was a devout Christian who loved the Lord. Her dedication to her church and her family was evident to everyone who knew her. She met her husband, Bill, as a young teenager. She got his attention by throwing rocks at him across the creek from her backyard. They were married for 57 years until his death in 2010. She was a loving mother who raised her children in the same Tennessee Avenue Baptist Church that she had attended since childhood. She was a hard worker and worked her way up from the “coffee girl” at the A&P to head bookkeeper where she was employed almost 30 years. She loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She loved to sing and had the voice of an angel. Her goal in life was to see her children and grandchildren saved by God’s grace so that her family would reunite in Heaven someday.
