Art and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out today about Glenda. I just can't believe it! We have so many fun memories with you all. One of my best is when we killed, cleaned, and whatever lots of chickens. I think I ended up watching the kids, more than helping. Glenda could do anything! She always made me laugh. Her smile was just contagious. She taught me lots about being a mom, wife and homemaker, and mostly about how to live life BIG and enjoy it. I know she had a big influence on lots of people. God blessed me with knowing her. We are thinking of you and praying for you! Love, Jim & Barb Anderson

Art--Gary and I were so sorry to hear the news about Glenda. I had Kip in kindergarten and will always remember her warm smile and bubbly personality. I always admired her for her wonderful parenting skills. I still have the chalkboard she made for me as a Christmas gift the year I had Kip. It was fun to renew our acquaintance on the cruise with all the Centralians. It is hard to believe that Jill, Nancy and now Glenda are gone. It just tells me that we need to live every day to the fullest since we never know what tomorrow will bring. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family on the passing of Glenda. We were neighbors after marriage and I attended high school with her. I have found memories of her as a very sweet and friendly person. God has received someone very special and this world has lost a dear lady.
~ - January 3, 2013
I am so sorry to hear about the death of Glenda. She was a truly caring and kind person. We moved from Centralia in 1975, but I felt such a feeling of loss when I read of her passing. I know she will be missed by her family and anyone that knew her. Glenda always had a smile on her face and a 'full of life' look in her eyes. May God bless and hold Glenda in his hands. And may God watch over her family and comfort them.

Art and Family,
I just learned of Glenda's very untimely passing. Even though Glenda was a year older in high school than I, she was always "one of everyone"! Her smile, her twinkling eyes and those devilish dimples made her the epitome of joyfulness--and impishness. No one could outdo Glenda when it came to humor; however, no one could outdo her sincerity for others. She was indeed a special someone who will always be remembered. She will be forever young to all of us who had the privilege to have known her. The eternal optimist, Glenda was an inspiration to all. She took one day at a time and lived it, demonstrating God's love by loving others with a joyful heart. She will be missed~Mary Beth (Vaughn) Mitchell

A very important person to me has died, Mrs. Beasley. She was such an inspiration to me. I can remember like it was yesterday her funny jokes and her tea pot jokes. My prayers go out to her family and she will be in my heart forever. God had a very special place for you up in heaven and one day I'm going to join you. You will never be forgotten. I love you Mrs. Beasley sweetheart dear.

To the entire Beasley Family,
Words can not express the feeling of sadness I have for your family. Glenda's life was taken to soon. My prayers are with you now and in the days to come.
Thinking of all of you,

Dear Art and Family--
Received an e-mail from my sister Becky about Glenda's passing. It made me sad at this season to receive this news. I always thought so much of her, as her parents and mine did a lot of things together over the years that we were growing up. She was a really fine person and a pleasure to be around. I can see from reading the other postings that nothing changed through the years. Please accept the condolences of my sisters and me.
~ - December 23, 2012
To the family, friends and circle of love that surrounded Glenda,
I send my heartfelt sympathies and prayers. Please know that many here at First Christian Church in Centralia MO are thinking of you all with love and sadness. Are hearts hurt for you all in your loss.
with the love of Christ,
Rev. Roxie McNelly, FCC Centralia

For Lois and the families of Glenda and Nancy:
The Broken Chain
We knew little that morning
That God was going to
Call your name.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone:
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.
I received this from a neighbor in memory of her husband and I thought sharing it with you would help me with my thoughts. It was wonderful to read such loving things about a childhood friend from Kindergarten through 12th grade. My memories are of smiles and kindness from Glenda Ann and her mother.
~ - December 23, 2012
Art and Family,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I had the pleasure of having Glenda as a teacher for four years in high school; she truly was my favorite teacher. She was, as you know, an amazing and inspiring person who touched the lives of many. One thing I always remember is that anytime she mentioned her family in class you could tell how much she loved all of you and that her family meant everything to her. It is difficult to see her go, but I picture her watching all of us from heaven and doing some sort of song and dance to try and cheer us up. She will forever be in my heart and forever be missed. I am thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers.
~ - December 23, 2012
We are so sorry for your loss. Glenda was a wonderful person, and a great teacher. Our children loved having her as their teacher. She always had a smile and went out of her way to say hello to us.
~ - December 23, 2012
My condolences to the Beasley family. Mrs. Beasley was one of my favorite teachers at Louisburg High School (Class of 2000). Always had a warm smile and a big heart too share to everyone. Will be missed.
~ - December 23, 2012
Art and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Glenda was such a good person and an awesome teacher. I am so glad my children had the chance to have her as a teacher. She was the teacher that made a difference.

My heart goes out to all you-family and friends. We all loved this wonderful lady. Glenda inspired all to be a better person. She had so much energy and life. I will miss her, but she touch my heart many years ago back in Haven while I was teaching there. I taught all of the children how to play an instrument. Your Mom, Glenda, made sure you practiced, and at the time I wished every student had a mom like Glenda. We had many fun times in Haven. She was just an awesome lady. May God be with you through this difficult.
~ - December 22, 2012
Dear Art and family,
I just can't believe that Glenda and her wonderful smile are no longer here for us to enjoy. She absolutely loved to laugh!! She left us way too soon but she did pack each and every day with as much energy and life as possible. I won't be in town for the funeral but please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. She was a truly special lady.
~ - December 22, 2012
We are sorry we will not be able to attend the services. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. When I think of Glenda, I always picture her beautiful smile.

Shocked to hear of Glenda's passing. She has been such a positive presence in the world. She was such a help to our daughter-in-law when she started her teaching carreer. We will treasure our memories of her.
~ - December 22, 2012
I am so saddened to learn about Glenda's premature passing. The great love of her family, friends, and community is a testament to Glenda's life. Since I keep the ASA sorority e-mail list, I have notified the sisters, and so many have responded with shock and sadness. Many have commented about Glenda's sweet personality and perpetual smile, and have said that you are all in their prayers.
I am so sorry I will be unable to attend services. Glenda and family have been and will be continually in my thoughts.
~ - December 22, 2012
Jon and family,
It is still such a shock and I can only imagine the overwhelming sadness. Your mom was one of the best! Instantly welcoming and a true joy to spend any amount if time around. I will always remember the few ski trips to Colorado that we were able to crash! I know I speak for all the oshers in Denver...we are going to miss you Glenda!
~ - December 21, 2012
Dear Art and family, I am so sorry for your loss in this horrible tragedy. It is a very painful experience to have to live through. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Even though I did not know her well, I know Glenda was a wonderful, special person because she was a beloved teacher, wife and mother. My mother would be devastated, and I'm sure your Mom is suffering again a terrible loss. Love, Carol Ann
~ - December 21, 2012
We worked with Glenda at Osawatomie High School until we left in 1992 to return to our home state of Missouri. Glenda was one of the most high-energy people we ever met, and her sense of humor was bottomless. We are so sorry for your loss.
~ - December 21, 2012
Amy & Family, Sam & I are sadden to learn of your Mother's passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss.
~ - December 21, 2012
Art, I wish I could be there for the funeral, Glenda was always a very special person to me. I know you and the family will miss her terribly. Please know I will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts.
~ - December 21, 2012
Art and family: The Centralia High School Class of 1963 will severely miss our wonderful friend Glenda. Some of us have known her since we were babies. A lot of our parents were friends and also graduated from the same high school which is rare these days. Glenda was looking forward to our 50th class reunion and we will celebrate her life. It was a privilege to have known and loved Glenda all these years. May she rest in peace with all her family and friends who have gone before her.
~ - December 21, 2012
Beasley Family,
I never had Mrs. Beasley, but my locker was right by her room back in high school. She was a super nice lady, who I visited with frequently. She was one of those teachers who knew how to have fun, but also had the respect of her students. I am very sorry for your family's loss!

Beasely Family
Shock and sad when I learned of Glenda's passing. We were sorority sisters in Alpha Sigma Alpha at Kirksville. Glenda and I were Business majors, I graduated in 1966. I was fortunate to see her at the Kansas City ASA reunion. Glenda was fun, youthful forever and I wish we had lived nearby to continue our friendship. My sincere sympathy to the family. She will be dearly missed.

Glenda taught both of our children while at Louisburg High School. She always had a smile and shared that with everyone she came in touch with. As a parent you hope for teachers that will not only connect academically with your children but personally as well. Glenda did that with mine. She will be missed by so many. We are thankful for the time we had with her.
Jeff and Cindy Casey

Art & Family ,
No words can express the sorrow I feel for your loss. Glenda was an extraordinary person who will be missed by all. My wish is for you to take comfort in her memory and to continue to live life as she did. With spice and a dash of sass. Our thoughts are with you all.
Our love,
Jeff & Stacey Bever

When we first visited Sunday School at Centralia First Christian in 1975, Glenda made us feel like she'd known us all our lives. I still have the 4-page letter (back & front) she wrote when I asked her advice on raising four kids, and I have that famous roll recipe! Art, Amy, Kip and Jon, you are in our prayers. Brian & Fran Schnarre
~ - December 21, 2012
Art and family... I am so sorry for your loss. Just the other day I was telling a friend about how my youngest son was way overdue. We were all at church doing something or other and Glenda said I'd probably have him on her birthday... I said 'NO I won't'.... He was due Jan 12 and you guessed it... he was born on her birthday. One of many memories I have of her. She will be missed. Prayers are with you all.

Kip and family,
Troy and I were very sorry to hear about Glenda's passing. From all that Kip has told us about Glenda and your family, we know that she will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Be strong for one another. Our thoughts are with you.
~ - December 21, 2012
Art & Kids, Glenda was as you know a literal 'Diamond in the Rough'. I feel so privileged to have called her friend.. As with many others we could hardly wait to hear from Beasley's Bunk House every year. Those over the last 20 years tell a great story of how busy she was and how very important her family was to her. We still put up an Angel decoration she made for us many years ago. Our Angel is cherished and now has a name. Know that we are praying for peace and healing hearts for you all. With Love and special memories...Terry and Ann Lousch

Amy and family, you know that when a member of GEHS mourns, we all do. My condolences to you at the tragic loss of your mother.
~ - December 21, 2012
Glenda is a very special person, she will always be in our hearts and all the memories of all our family get together's or should i say "crazy times" will be something we cherish forever! Glenda will always be forever remembered with a lemoncello toast, from our family to her in heaven. May she be a shining star to her family and a light to ours. Love Mike, Penny & Ashton Adkisson

Glenda and Art have been good friends of ours since we met in Germany in the 60" We had a lot of fun then and continued getting together a couple times a year. Our Family loves the Beasleys and we always looked forward to traveling together or just spending time with all of them. She was my mentor and Glenda made me a better person. I am going to miss her so much but we figure God needed her in heaven to take care of the 20 children from Connecticut that were just killed They got the best. But I will never be the same.

Art, Amy, Shawn, Kip, Steve, and Jon,
Glenda was simply amazing. Such a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and teacher. It is so hard to process this horrible loss. The only peace I can have about it is that her and Todd are together again. I treasure the memories of my times with your family. I still make Glenda's amazing cinnamon rolls that she introduced to me on the ski slopes years ago....but still am not a fan of deer jerky!! My heart aches knowing what you are all going through. I hope the love of family and friends help you with this incredible loss.

I am so very sad to learn of Glenda's passing. We were sorority sisters
in Alpha Sigma Alpha at Kirksville. I have been fortunate to see her at
a few reunions in the past. She had an inner glow with such a wholesome
image. My sincere sympathy to the family. You were blessed with a truly
wonderful person to share in your lives. May you find comfort in the many
blessed memories that you have of Glenda. She will be dearly missed.

Art and family,
I must say my heart truly sank when I read the news of Glenda. I met your family through church and later became your accountant. I always looked forward to my appointment with Glenda during tax season. She was always so organized and great to talk with, not just about taxes, but about family and life. I know I will miss her smiling face this tax season. Your family and this whole community have been blessed to have Glenda be a part of our lifes. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.

Stay stong and embrace your family.
Much Love!!!

Art, over 25 years ago, Pat & I were blessed to meet the Beasley family and even tho the years have come and gone, I cherish those early days. To see Glenda would bring an instant smile to my face, to Read her Chrismas letter was to bring instant laughter, to know her was a gift. We are so sorry for your loss, she will be missed by all that knew her. God Bless you and all of your family. Lovingly Pat & Edie

Art, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Glenda. I knew you and your wonderful family when we lived in Haven.

Please know that everyone who was touched by Glenda, carries you in their prayers during this most difficult time.
Bless you,

Art and Family,
So sorry to hear about the loss of Glenda, although I did not know her, by reading her obituary she must have been wonderful and caring person. My hearfelt condolences go out to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
~ - December 21, 2012
It comes with great sorrow that you leave us at such an early age. We so admired how you loved your grandchildren and made them each feel special whenever they were with you.
Your warm personality made it so enjoyable to know you and share in family memories. The entire Sharp family always looked forward to sharing in a family gathering with you.
You have done a superb job in molding Amy into a terrific wife and mother as you were. Art is so blessed to have lived a wonderful life with you.
We're so fortunate to have known you for such a short time.
Your friends!

I will always remember Glenda as a wonderful lady. She was always very pleasant and always had the biggest smile on her face, I worked at the high school as a custodian for 4 years and cleaned her room regular. I will miss her very much. I always enjoyed looking at her family pictures that she displayed on her desk. I will always remember Glenda.

Kip and Family ~
My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you. The void that you feel must be unbearable. God will hold you in his hands as you grieve. Over time you will start to remember all the great memories of Glenda. She sounds like a wonderful person who touched everyone that she met. Everyone is a better person for having known her.
~ - December 20, 2012
Art and family,
I've only knew Glenda a short time and she made a profound impression. Her smile, laughter, and friendly spirit made me feel at home in Louisburg. She welcomed me with open arms. I'm so glad I got to spend last Friday with her and Art. Danny and I extend our deepest condolences. I have no doubt that she is in heaven. Prayers are with you in this hard time, Mary Quinn

We are so sorry for your loss, Glenda was a wonderful person and teacher. She will be missed.

I remember meeting Glenda and the Beasley family buying shaved ice. It was exciting to meet a fellow 'Glenda'. Later when my children were in school I would always enjoy a smile and hello from Mrs. Beasley. The loss of this fine lady will be felt for a long time in this community. Mr. Beasley and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God ease your pain.
~ - December 20, 2012
Mrs Beasley,
You touched so many lives daily. We loved to see your cheerful smile and wave EVERY time we passed you on Metcalf. We will miss your reminders in the daily announcements to all those juniors! You loved every one of those students and knew them by name. You will be missed. "Hugs and kisses" to you!!!

I had long since graduated LHS when Glenda came to town. But I did take several computer classes with her. What a wonderful soul-would have loved to have had her for a teacher. She was one of the most kind, patient people I have ever met. And fun! I am sure she was a blessing to many LHS students over her years as a teacher. Make her proud kids-you know how she would want you to be living you life. So sorry for your loss, Johnna Coltrin-Ross
