The former Glenda Darlene Pashia was born June 5, 1941, in Moline, Illinois, the daughter of Timothy and Irene (Edelman) Pashia. She graduated from Alleman High School in 1959 and went on to marry the love of her life, Michael G. Schaab, on October 13, 1962, in Rapids City, Illinois. They shared more than 62 years together before Michael’s passing on April 1, 2025.

Glenda worked for many years at Struthers-Dunn, but found her true calling as a teacher at the Newcomb Presbyterian Church day care, where she touched countless young lives. She had a love for embroidery and journaling, and was known as a “collector of people”—someone who never met a stranger. Glenda cherished staying in touch with friends from every chapter of her life, from high school classmates to the families she served through day care, and even the occasional telemarketer with whom she would share a meaningful conversation. At home, she proudly claimed the title of “queen of laundry,” delighting in the simple joy of hanging her sheets and clothes outdoors so they would always be the freshest.

She is survived by two children, Scott (Sara) Schaab of Rapids City, and Michele (Linda Ferreira) Schaab of Seattle, Washington; five grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; her sister, Elizabeth Bisko of Omaha, Nebraska; and in-laws, Kathleen (Tom) DeVore, Paul (Shirley) Schaab, and John (Leanne) Schaab. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Michael Schaab; siblings, Sharon Staggs, Timothy Pashia, Jr., and Mary Gilmore; and brother-in-law, Phillip Schaab.
