Bloomington, Illinois – The legal community and residents of Bloomington, Illinois, are in mourning following the death of Ronda Glenn, a highly respected attorney known for her dedication to family law. Ronda Glenn, who had a career spanning approximately 30 years, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and commitment.
Ronda Glenn’s impact on the community was profound. She was not only a skilled attorney but also a compassionate advocate for families facing difficult legal challenges. Her practice, the Ronda Glenn Law Offices, founded in 1995 with locations in Bloomington and Pontiac, became a beacon of hope for many navigating complex cases involving the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), juvenile matters, and guardianship issues.

Andrea Hoffman, a close friend, and colleague, shared her thoughts on Facebook, saying, "Ronda Glenn was a good friend and local attorney known to many in the Bloomington-Normal area. She was poised, compassionate, and generous. Ronda contributed so much to our community and local charities. We will miss her laughter, friendship, and endeavors to make the world and our lives better."
The loss of Ronda Glenn is felt deeply in the Bloomington community, where she was admired not only for her legal acumen but also for her dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of others. As Gela Hard Wilson aptly put it, "It’s hard losing the good ones."
