Glenda Dell Berryhill Duvall (Burell) departed this earthly toil on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at her home in Sherman, MS as a result of a fall. Glenda was born October 30, 1949 to the union of James William Berryhill and Mamie Ruth Stevens Berryhill (Brown). She attended Saltillo High School and graduated in 1967. She worked in various secretarial roles throughout her working years. Glenda had a profound love for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, being raised in the Tupelo Assembly of God congregation. Gifted with learning to play piano by ear, she played the piano for a number of years at Shiloh Baptist Church in Mantachie where she raised her children.
