Glenda Gallimore Scott

GREENSBORO — Glenda Gallimore Scott, 85, of Greensboro, NC, passed away on Sunday, Aug. 10, 2025, at Camden Health in Greensboro, NC.  

Born Sept. 9, 1939, in Randolph County, NC, she was the daughter of the late William Clyde Gallimore and Anna Luda Pennell Gallimore.

Glenda graduated from Farmer High School (Denton) in 1957. 

She worked in office equipment sales, and in various administrative assistant roles. In her later years, she provided home care services for the elderly in her community. She was a strong advocate for elder care, and volunteered in many community services, including Meals on Wheels.  

Glenda loved all types of animals, and of course they loved her, too. This included a pet box turtle that followed her everywhere she went in the yard, rehabbing of squirrels, and regularly feeding nice dinners to opossums on her deck. She was a strong advocate for animal rights, and fostered/sheltered many stray and abused dogs and cats. 

She will be deeply missed, but her memory and spirit will live on in the hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Glenda is survived by her sister, Betty Davis of Cary, and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by sisters, Faye and Joyce Gallimore; brothers, Jay, Ned, Raymond, Sherman and Billy Gallimore; and by special nephews, Darrell Gallimore, Jo Jo Metwally, Randy Davis and Jeffrey Gallimore.

Graveside service and burial will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, at 1 p.m. at Piney Grove Methodist Church, 7564 Jackson Creek Road, Denton, NC 27239.  A Celebration of Life reception will follow in the Church Fellowship Hall.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Piney Grove Methodist Church, ATTN: Kenneth Patrick, 13520 E Old US Hwy 64, Lexington, NC 27292.
