The family of Glennys Langeland, 85, announces her passing, and invites all who knew her to remember her here.
A life remembered begins, simply, with the telling.
Glennys's story began in 1933, and unfolded across the years that followed.
Glennys held deeply to the Lutheran faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
A life of faith is rarely a life of certainty — but always one of trust.
