Mrs. Glennis Hiers passed away peacefully Sunday, March 9, 2014, at the Ogeechee Area Hospice in Statesboro. She was 90 years old and lifelong resident of Bulloch County. Glennis was born August 24, 1923, in a tin-roofed wooden house on a dirt road across the street from the home she eventually built in 1959, and the only home she owned and lived in until she entered into the care of Ogeechee Area Hospice. She graduated from Statesboro High School in 1941 and looked forward in later years to attending the annual class reunions. Following graduation, she worked at the McCleenan's Five & Dime store on North Main Street in Statesboro, where she met her future husband, Burney Hiers. She also worked at the First Federal Savings and Loan in Statesboro as an accounting clerk for many years and was trained on and operated one of the first computers.
