Glenda Fay Farb

Glenda Fay Farb, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on June 25, 2025, in Houston, Texas. A proud Texan through and through, Glenda lived a life full of love, generosity, and dedication to her family and community. Born on September 18, 1948, in Houston to Alta Fay Baskin and Weldon Pool, Glenda was a bright and spirited child. At the age of 11, she moved with her mother and stepfather, Eugene Fant, to Dallas, Texas. There, she attended Greenhill School in Addison, graduating with the Class of 1966. She went on to attend Sullins College in Bristol, Virginia, where her intellect and independence continued to flourish. Glenda was multitalented in every sense of the word. She had a gift for landscaping and gardening, an innate flair for creating beauty and comfort in any space, and she was a masterful family chef. But above all else, her greatest joy in life was being a mother. Her love was unconditional, her support unwavering, and her presence a source of strength and comfort for her family. She was a lifetime member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, most recently earning lifetime status with the Lamb & Goat Auction Committee. Through her tireless efforts with the Fant Family Foundation, Glenda helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Texas youth—a cause she championed with passion since 2002. She is survived by her daughter, Tiffany Orion Buchanan of Houston, TX; son, Albert Farb of Dallas, TX, and his husband, Gage Picotte; grandchildren, Michael Buchanan Velasquez, Alec Orion Velasquez, and Zoey Nicole Sadeski; brother, Richard Fant (Houston, TX) and wife Jana; sister, Gina Fant-Simon (Dripping Springs, TX) and wife Shari; step-sister Nancy House (New Braunfels, TX); step-brother Robert Fant (Savannah, TN) and dear friends Brenda Conley and Eddie Pearce of La Marque, TX. A memorial service celebrating Glenda’s life will be held on Thursday, July 17th at 1:00PM at Bering Church 1440 Harold Street, Houston, TX 77006. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Glenda’s memory to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Lamb & Goat Auction Committee—an organization that reflected her heart and purpose. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Brenda Conley for her extraordinary care, friendship, and unwavering support. Your love meant the world to Glenda, and to all of us as well. Your presence will always be remembered with gratitude.
