Adrienne Glace

Adrienne Marie Glace, 67, passed away on June 26, 2011, at her home in Christiansburg, VA, surrounded in love by her family, after a brief illness.

Adrienne was born in Seattle, WA to Leonard and Phyllis Leathley. She grew up in Renton, WA, and spent the majority of her life at various Naval bases and subsequently in Stafford, VA with her husband, Ken. Adrienne and Ken ultimately retired in Christiansburg, VA.

Adrienne is remembered as a faithful and devoted servant of Christ who loved babies and took great pride in family, home, friends, and service to others. Adrienne’s unspoken motto was "there are no strangers, only friends I haven’t met yet."

She happily lived her life as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and homemaker. Adrienne was an active member of Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Christiansburg. Adrienne, Mom - we love you, we know that you are now in our Father’s hands, and we pray that you have Christ’s eternal peace.
