Marion V. Glenn, 80, of Hackett, died May 10, 2013 in Fort Smith.
She was born July 24, 1932 in San Antonio, TX to William David Holland, Jr and Virginia Vivian Jones Holland.
She moved with her family to Saucier, Miss., at a very young age and was proud to call Mississippi her home. It was there that she met her soul mate in a dashing young Air Force officer, Ervin Lee Glenn. She and Ervin were married June 6, 1954, at Keesler Air Force Base chapel in Biloxi, Miss. For 55 years, they lived a life of fun and adventure together. Lt. Col. (Ret.) Ervin Lee Glenn preceded her in death in 2010. Now they are dancing together in heaven.
She was a homemaker and member of the First Baptist Church of Hackett.
Marion's generous life was spent in service to others. She embraced her role as a military wife, serving actively in the Officers' Wives Club and volunteering with the Red Cross, the Girls Scouts of America and other charities for many years.
Our mom taught us to believe in fairies and leprechauns as well as angels, instilling in us both the foundations of faith and an appreciation for life's mysteries and magic. To her we owe our love of reading and passion for great storytelling. Her age did not define her. She drew her strength and wisdom from the old ones, but was youthful and fresh to the last. Her grandchildren enjoyed her lively card games, movie nights and holiday celebrations. Everyone enjoyed sitting on her deck drinking one more cup of coffee, telling one more tale, laughing and enjoying life in each moment. She put everyone's needs above her own. She was our shelter from life's storms, our strength and our anchor — not only for her children and grandchildren, but for all.
Marion is survived by her daughters, Susan Byram of Fayetteville, Ginger Wells and husband Dr. Steve Wells of Oklahoma City and Dr. Amy Plunkett and husband Don Plunkett of Fort Smith. She also survived by her brothers, William C. Holland and wife Ila Ruth of Saucier and Clifton J. Holland and wife Ann of Charlotte, N.C.; her sister, Carolyn (Holland) Bobinger and husband David of Saucier; her sister-in-law, Pauline (Glenn) Stein of Hackett; and brother-in-law, Thurman D.
