Obituary for Tom Glenn
Tom Glenn, 71, of Ora Lane in Anderson, SC, passed on to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, August 27, 2022.
Tom was the epitome of a family man, there were no mountains he couldn’t or wouldn’t move for the ones he loved. He was an adoring husband to his wife, Louanne, for 49 years. Tom’s spirit was lively, always with a smile on his face and a warm greeting; he knew no strangers.
He lived a full life, beginning with his childhood, where he was one of seven siblings. In 1969, at 17 years old, Tom served three years in the Marine Corp during Vietnam. He was a proud Marine and was passionate about his country and fellow veterans. Tom & Louanne married in 1972 and began building their family.
In 1978, he began a career at Michelin and retired after nearly three decades of service. After retiring, Tom spent his time woodworking, tinkering in his barn, playing music, restoring his prized Volkswagens and spending time with his family. Out of all of Tom’s accomplishments, he would quickly tell you that his greatest one was being a husband & father.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Miriam Patterson Glenn & William Keith Glenn Jr and one sibling, George “Ike” Glenn.
He is survived by his wife, Louanne Glenn, children, Scott Glenn (Carey) of Anderson, Joey Glenn (Amy) of Jupiter, FL and Kami Glenn of Anderson. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Jonah, Alijah, Eden, Clementine & Rose, Rhianna, Blue & Sylas, Zeke & Zoia, great granddaughter, Rainey, brothers, Keith (Pat), Miriam (d. Robert), Nadine (Robert), Bob (Nancy) & Sam (Teresa).
A memorial service will be held at The Standard Cremation & Funeral Center at 3:00pm on Thursday, September 1, 2022. Visitation will be held in The Maple Room of The Standard prior to the service at 2:00pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St Jude’s Hospital by visiting www.stjude.org.
