Thomas Glenn

On Monday, November 13, 2023, God called Deacon Thomas Glenn to glory with His arms wide open to welcome him into eternal life.

Thomas Glenn was born January 8, 1932, to the late Mr. Tom Glenn and the late Ms. Pinkie Garland in Cairo, Georgia, Grady County. He attended the Grady County school system.

He confessed to Christ at an early age at the Church of Christ in Thomasville, Georgia.  Throughout his life, his faith sustained him.  At the time of his passing, he was an active member of the Rose City Church of Christ.

Thomas Glenn was married to the late Ms. Alberta Louise Anderson and to that union, Barbara, Bernice (deceased), Charles (deceased), Christine, Willie, Brenda (deceased), and Harriette (deceased) were born.

Thomas Glenn was a dedicated construction businessman, being employed by Defnall Construction Company for many, many years, where he took pride in every endeavor.  He enjoyed working outside and had a big heart, as well as a generous spirit.  He was a man always smiling, never mistreated anyone, and was willing to help everyone.  He truly loved his family and looked forward to the Glenn and Garland family reunions.
