Ann S. Glendenning
February 28, 1939 — March 15, 2023
Vera Ann Skipper Glendenning, 84, of Savannah, Georgia, passed away on 03/14/2023. She was born to parents William Skipper and Kathleen Skipper, on 02/28/1939 in Savannah, Georgia.
She graduated from Savannah High in 1957 and completed 2 years of business school.
Ann worked as a nursery school teacher, at The Gingerbread House, with her good friend Carol Giles. After 11 years, she began working at The Village Craftsmen, on River Street, selling her pottery from which she retired in 2011.. She spent later years volunteering at the St. Thomas Thrift Store.
Ann was a Girl Scout leader and took a group of girls to Wyoming in the summer of 1977, sightseeing on the way to the Girl Scout Camp. She led many girls on camping trips and other Girl Scout adventures. She most recently joined the retired leader troop in Savannah. In 1985 Ann became the first Ride Leader for the Bike Ride Across Georgia, also known as BRAG.
Ann met Donald W Glendenning in 1961. They were married on May 12, 1962 in Savannah Georgia. Together they raised 3 children: Jennifer Glendenning, Mark Glendenning, Robert Glendenning. She cared for her husband Donald after his stroke and even managed to get him through two European cruise vacations to the British Isles and the Mediterranean.
Ann had a giant heart in her small body. She had a quiet strength that was accepting of all. She seemed to always know what to say and when to say it to support her friends and family.
Ann is survived by her three children, Jennifer, Mark, and Robert, her daughter-in-law, Katie, her two grandsons Braeden and Shawn as well has her chosen family: Erin Thaler and Jacob Thaler, and her close friends.
She was preceded in death by both of her parents and her husband, Donald.
The family has entrusted Baker-McCollough with the arrangements. A Memorial Service is scheduled for Saturday, March 25, 11:00 AM at First Presbyterian Church (520 Washington Ave. Savannah, GA 31405). A reception will follow at Stewart Hall, First Presbyterian Church. Rev Steven Williams will officiate the ceremony.
