  • Nana Glenn was a beautiful woman. She was always positive and kind. She was a pleasure to be around. She amazed me every year with detailed stories of her life. Adventures that she and her husband had when they were younger. Whenever we talked about Walter she would light up and she would always mention how handsome he was.Her memory was fantastic. I believe she lived a very happy life.

  • It was a pleasure, and an honor, for Terry and I to have known your parents, and the rest of your family.
    We were so very grateful that Terry had such a good friend to stay with when he came back up North to work. He would tell me about your Mom being so active…it seemed that she never gave up, or gave in…with her swimming especially, but also with all her other activities. She was greatly admired, and I know she will be greatly missed too.

    May all the wonderful memories sustain you now. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Fondly, Dottie

  • How do you write about someone you’ve known your whole life? As long as I can remember Mrs. Glenn ( I still can’t say Pris ) was next door when you needed her. When I was little if something happened and my parents weren’t around I was to find Mrs. Glenn. When in high school I could talk to her about things I couldn’t with my parents. She was my second Mom! She had a great influence on me and I’ll always be grateful that she was part of my life!

  • our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Her positive, fun loving attitude was something that we could all learn from. May god bless her soul and i hope you find peace in knowing how wonderful she was.
