Glenda Gay Bunker Obituary

Our wonderful sister, Glenda Gay Bunker, went home to her Heavenly Parents and her earthly parents, Kent and Rosalie Bunker, early Monday morning, January 26, 2026, while staying at her brother’s home in Provo, Utah. 

Glenda was born on June 24, 1961, in St. George, Utah. She lived with her family in Bunkerville, Nevada, attending school in Mesquite and graduating from Virgin Valley High School in 1979. She also spent several semesters at Dixie College in St. George, Utah, Southern Utah State College in Cedar City, Utah and Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. 

Glenda lived in Las Vegas, Nevada where she worked at a dry cleaner for a number of years, then moved back to live with her mother Rosalie in Bunkerville. She moved to Orem, Utah after her mother’s death in 2013 and worked at Living Empowered in Pleasant Grove for several years. 

She had a deep love of learning languages and found joy in the meaning of words and names. Creative at heart, she wrote music and poetry as a way of expressing herself. She also excelled in needlework and especially enjoyed long walks outdoors. 

Glenda was preceded in death by her parents, Kent Edward Bunker and Rosalie (Walker) Bunker. She is survived by her siblings and their spouses:  brother Clive (Marlene) Bunker of St. George, Utah; brother Lowell (Lynette) Bunker of Provo, Utah; and sister Margaret (Steve) Olds of Gilbert, Arizona.
