Glace, Adrienne Marie
Adrienne Marie Glace, 67, passed away on Sunday, June 26, 2011, at her home in Christiansburg, surrounded in love by her family, after a brief illness. Adrienne was born in Seattle, Wash., to Leonard and Phyllis Leathley. She grew up in Renton, Wash., 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.”
Adrienne is survived by her husband, Commander Kenneth William Glace Jr., United States Navy retired of Christiansburg; daughter, Theresa Marie Rivinius and husband, Bill Sr., of Tucson, Ariz.; daughter, Allison Frances Long and husband, Dean, of Floyd, Va.; daughter, Michelle Glace Collins and husband, Jason, of Concord, N.C.; grandchildren, Jessica Marie Rivinius, Billy Rivinius Jr., Jackson Cole Long, Payton Christopher Collins, Joshua Garrett Long, Aislin Frances Collins, and Reagan Elizabeth Collins; brother, Leonard Thomas Leathley Jr., of Renton, Wash.; sister, Carol Ann Hackman, of Renton, Wash.; and sister, Diane Faye Graham, of Kettle Falls, Wash.
