GLENDA E. PUZEWSKI
Glenda E. Puzewski, age 81, passed away on Monday, March 4, 2024, in the comfort of her home.
Mrs. Puzewski was born Jan. 3, 1943, in Fort Benning, Georgia, the daughter of the late Cecil M. Walker Jr. and Haseltine A. Walker.
She was a graduate of Edmunds High School in Sumter in 1961. Soon after graduating, she married her husband, John Puzewski, in 1962. She worked many jobs during her beautiful life such as home cleaning, the department store Taps and was an operator at Bell Telephone. John was in the military, so they had the opportunity to see many different parts of the world together. Glenda truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, spending time with her dear husband, chatting with friends and spending time with her loved ones. Glenda could always put a smile on your face no matter how you were feeling. She was a very outgoing person and would offer a helping hand to anyone who could use one. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.
