Michael Richard Glenn

Michael was born in Biloxi, Mississippi on August 10th, 1957 to parents Richard Gerard Glenn and Janice Nordaker. During his life he received his High School Diploma from Dowling Catholic High School in West Des Moines, Iowa. Later he went on to University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa and earned his BA in Education, focusing on Special Education. 

Michael married Anaverta (Ana) H. Glenn on July 11th, 1992, and lived in Tempe. Michael is survived by his children: Megan Jo, Andrew, and Joshua (Withoo, wife). Michael is also survived by his sisters Marla and Maribeth (Neil, husband) and his grandchildren Brandon, Mona, and Sierra.

While alive, Michael achieved many things. He was a Teacher, as well as a Teacher Consultant for the Arizona Geographical Alliance, and served as the President of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Society Group at the ASU All Saints Newman Center Catholic Church in Tempe, Arizona, and was an active community volunteer. In his spare time, he enjoyed Reading, Hiking, Camping, Fishing, Golf, and Tennis. He was an avid sports fan who attended many games whenever he could, as much as he could. But he mostly loved spending time with his family.
