My fondest memory is of a time Glenda came to work with us at Bayview Nursing and Rehab in New Bern and she stayed until late in the night to help us fix some coding issues. We shared many laughs that night and I was so amazed by her intelligence and her genuine passion for her work. She will be greatly missed.

Ms. Glenda Lyle will be missed. I know she is in a better placed. Rest in peace. We loved you.
Glenda will always hold a special place in my heart. She was an expert in what she did and always made others feel she was there for them. She will truly be missed by many but we know she is with Alan again to be forever happy and pain free.
Glenda will forever hold a special place in my heart. She always made sure I had the tools I needed to succeed. Glenda was always kind and had a calming, giving spirit. She always took the time to teach and share her abundance of knowledge to anyone that was open to receiving. She was not only an expert at her job but top notch as a friend and just a good human being. Glenda you’re in a beautiful place now, no more pain and with Alan the love of your life and that alone will give us all peace in the mist of our sorrow. Love you forever Glenda

I always smile when I think of Glenda.She was such a gentle spirit
I’ve been a friend of Glenda for 25 years, through my nursing career and her medical records career. We had the same work ethic, appreciation for detail and compliance, and the same zany sense of humor. I remember having a shared birthday lunch with her at Ruby Tuesday’s – lunch stretched on for 5 hours with several trips back to the salad bar and restroom! Once you “clicked” with Glenda, you never wanted to leave. She will forever be in my heart and my memories. She and Alan were so devoted to each other; now they can continue where they left off 6 years ago. Heaven is more perfect with her sweet spirit in attendance. Much love and prayers for peace and comfort to her wonderful sister and brothers.
Glenda was a wonderful friend and dedicated mentor. I first met her in 1988 when she was consulting me for my first job in medical records. With her mentorship and support over the years, she assisted me with transforming my from a Ward Secretary, to Medical Records Director and now Educator in the field. It is because of her patient, kind, supportive presence that I was able to accomplish this. She was a beautiful person who always took her time with her consulting, providing thorough explanation and resources. She also had a personable side that cared enough to ask about your well being. She was a natural nurturer. I will forever miss her smile, her infectious laugh, our long talks, and her loving spirit. Rest in paradise my friend. I will miss you dearly! I extend my love to the family and pray for God’s Grace and Mercy for all who loved her.
Glenda met me at the door in Cary the first time I was at a medical records workshop new to the company and I had been widowed for about a month and when I walked in the door Glenda hugged me like we were old friends, she told about loosing her husband and we became friends, and every time I talked to her after that either in person or on the phone or by email she always let me know she had me in her prayers.
she was so caring and I never called on her that she didn’t give me an answer. She will surely be missed.
And I know she has reunited in heaven with her husband and I can see the smile on her face. Dance on the streets of GOLD Glenda.
