Mrs. Covington was born in Rocky Mount, NC, on September 30, 1940, to Leroy and 
Elizabeth Hughes Twisdale. Glenda attended Business College in Killeen, TX and

Mrs. Covington worked at J. C. Penney as a telephone switchboard operator, 
worked in the supply department at Norfolk, VA, Naval Station, and as a bank 
teller on an as needed basis in Killeen, TX, just to name a few. After meeting 
her husband, Joseph, she moved to Puerto Rico where she spent most of her time 
in the ceramic shop where she fabricated many different artifacts which she used 
later to decorate her home. Mrs. Covington worked part-time in the Navy Exchange 
in the music section where she organized and ordered replacement records as they 
were bought. She and her husband moved to his hometown of Buena Vista in 1985.  
Mrs. Covington was a very kind person and loved all animals. She was feeding 
about 25 or 30 feral cats along with three or four raccoons and opossums. Her 
favorite charities were The Red Cross and American Society for the Prevention of 
Cruelty to Animals. 

She is survived by her husband, Joseph Covington; by her children, Donna Priest,

Holly Harper Ellis, Michelle Harper, Jason Greene, Jared Greene, Cody Greene,
