She was born May 28, 1923 in Cameron a daughter of the late James Edward and Daisy Rees Stewart.

In the era when one could skip grades, Glenis flew through the Emporium High School so swiftly she graduated the day after she turned 14. Through the years she worked for Sylvania, HRB Singer in Bellefonte, State Forestry & eventually retiring from Northern Tier Community Action. For many years Glenis worked with the mentally challenged children in various associations that included them in sporting events. She loved seeing them achieve goals that they once thought never possible. During Christmas she spent endless hours collecting gifts and wrapping them for those people placed in special homes making sure that their Christmas's were special and not forgotten. She had a passion for dancing and taught most of her nieces and nephews how to ballroom dance & danced the night away where ever dances were held. She was one of the first on the committee to start the Emporium Country Club. In recent years, Glenis just enjoys relaxing while reading a good novel with mysteries being her favorite.
