l e n d a Sanders Jemison likes to talk about her church, First Baptist on Vann Street. She receives a lot of satisfaction at the services and various activities the church has and attends all of them. She’s in the Inspirational Choir, is the recording secretary in the Missionary Society and is president of the Usher Board. She learns a lot from city councilwoman and Mayor pro-tem Sandra Sudduth, who teaches the Sally Oden adult Sunday school class. “We like to say that we’re a small church with a big heart,” said Glenda. “We love helping people and learning about the Lord. Our pastor is Rev. Christopher Taylor. We love him and his wife, Jacinta.” Her church has started a ministry at Jacksonville Health and Rehab. Once a month members go the facility to play bingo with the residents. Win or lose, everyone gets a gift. “It makes me feel good because they enjoy it so much,” she said. “They’re so happy to see us, and we’re happy to see them. We like to fellowship with them. Helping people and serving the Lord is a big part of my life.” Glenda was born in Centre and grew up attending Shiloh Baptist Church there. She enjoyed
growing up in Cherokee County and has fond memories of happy times there. “My daddy would often take me fishing with him, but I didn’t like to go out in the boat on Weiss Lake because I was afraid,” she said. Her parents are the late Gene and Jimmie Lou Sanders. After graduating from Hatcher High School in Centre, she attended Booker T. Washington Business College in Birmingham and also a business college in New London, Conn. She retired three years ago from 12 years of employment at Federal-Mogul where she worked in the packaging department. Larry Cunningham was her supervisor. Working at FederalMogul is what made her decide to move from Anniston to Jacksonville several years ago. “I love Jacksonville,” she said. “And I really do love my neighbors. They’re wonderful.” Glenda’s daughter and sonin-law, Tevis and Pat Garrett and her son, Brian Wright, live in Jacksonville. She has five grandchildren -- Ashley, Ja’Keel, Alexis, Lauryn, and Allen. Her brother, Bobby Sanders, lives in Cleveland Ohio. She has two sisters. Yvonne Wright lives in Centre, and Gloria Toombs lives in Augusta, Ga. Glenda helps with the annual Black History Program each February at the Community Center.

Glenda is Associate Matron of Jacksonville Pride Chapter 854 Order of the Eastern Star. She likes to read Christian books and work in her yard in her flowers and plants when the weather is nice. One of her favorite things is walking on the track at the Community Center. “I try to walk a mile and a half when I go,” she said.
She said she’s thankful the city installed an elevator, but she’s also thankful that she’s healthy enough to not have to use it. “I’m so glad they have the elevator for the ones who can’t walk up the stairs,” she said. “I feel so fortunate that I can still walk up them, and I hope I can continue to do so for a long time.” Glenda is an avid football fan. She likes to attend games when possible, but when she can’t go, she watches them on television.
