It is with profound sorrow that we remember the life of Glenda Atkins, a cherished member of the Westside Baptist Church community in Newnan. Her passing marks not only the loss of a devoted pianist, but also a woman whose kindness, faith, and dedication touched countless lives.
Glenda was more than a musician—she was the heartbeat of many worship services, filling the church with warmth through every note she played. Her gift for music brought comfort, joy, and a sense of togetherness to all who gathered. Whether during Sunday services or special events, her presence behind the piano was both familiar and deeply meaningful.
Beyond her musical talents, Glenda dedicated herself to teaching and guiding children in Sunday school. She had a gentle way of connecting with young hearts, helping them grow in faith while making them feel seen, valued, and loved. Many remember her not just as a teacher, but as a mentor who shaped their early spiritual journeys.
Friends and fellow church members describe Glenda as compassionate, humble, and always willing to lend a helping hand. She lived her faith daily, not just in words but through her actions—offering encouragement, support, and a listening ear to anyone in need.
Her passing leaves a space that cannot be filled, yet her legacy continues in the lives she touched. The songs she played, the lessons she taught, and the love she shared will remain woven into the fabric of the community she cared so deeply about.
As the Westside Baptist Church family and her loved ones grieve this loss, they also celebrate a life lived with purpose, faith, and devotion. Glenda Atkins will be remembered not only for what she did, but for who she was—a light in the lives of many.
