Glenn Green

Leo Glenn Green was born at his grandparents home, aided by a local midwife, to Elsie (Michel) Green and Chester Green on January 5, 1944. He gained his wings from this earthly life to his heavenly home on October 31, 2020 making his age 76 years 9 months and 26 days.

He leaves behind his dear wife Diann (Neagle) Green of 56 years; as well as 2 children, Tamara Squibb (Cris) and James (Chelsie) Green; seven grandchildren, Derek (Michele) Weaver, Jared (Melissa) Weaver, LaTasha ( Xavion) Clowers, Wyatt Squibb, Tyler Green, Alayna Green, and Emma Green; five great grandchildren, McKinlee, Jalen and Amaya Weaver, Ian Frederique and Isabel Weaver; Two sister-in-laws, Lavonne Green and Carolyn (Rick) Halverson; his mother-in-law Marjorie Neagle and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Preceding him in death were his grandparents, parents, Chester and Elsie Green; sister Gloria Green Roberts and husband Morris Eugene Roberts, brother Gordon Green, grandson Apollo Clowers, several uncles and aunts who helped him to grow in many ways; a niece Norma (Roberts) Skelton, a dear brother-in-law Jim Barnes, father-in-law Norman Neagle, as well as many dear relatives and friends.

Glenn loved his family and his Lord Jesus Christ. He accepted Jesus as his savior at an early age. During his younger years he regretted not being an active follower of his Lord. In early adulthood he recommitted his life and actively served as a teacher, elder and then Pastored the Arroll Community for well over 40 years.

He loved playing sports of all types when he was younger, but would quickly tell you he was never very good at any of them. When he was younger and healthy,  he loved joking with friends and had stories of jokes he pulled or had pulled on him. He truly loved people.

Glenn worked several jobs in his youth. He began working for Angelica Uniform Company when he was 19. He served in many positions for them in his 40 years of service to them until they closed.  He was the last Missouri Angelica factory employee when they closed at the end of 2002.   He later worked at Mtn. View Lumber for almost 3 years and Community Bank for 5 years.  He spoke highly of every boss he had.

Due to a bad eye he was rejected from volunteering during the Vietnam War, but served in many civic capacities at home.  He served in the Chamber of Commerce, 3 terms on the Summersville City Council, volunteer fireman, and 3 terms as a school board member.  The contribution he made, of which he was most proud, was Summersville Centennial Chairman in 1970.  They planned and had some community activity each weekend from Spring up into the Fall.  Many volunteers put together a Summer that many proclaimed as highly successful and one of the best years Summersville ever enjoyed.

In his words, his family and those who knew him well, will be the ones to decide if he was a success in life.  His health failed for the past several years.  His hope is that there will be few sad or bitter tears at his passing because he knows where his journey leads, and he will be awaiting on the far side banks of Jordan in the eternal home our Lord Jesus prepared for us.
