In 1969 together with her husband they owned and operated Henry B Glass Oil Burner Heating Service until 2018. In her later years she was a foster “grandma” at Salix HeadStart. She was very active and did many exercise activities with her sister “Ag” Lute. She loved to play cards, bike, swim and picnics with Ag, Lu and Mike Hritz. She had a competitive nature and loved to win, especially at family reunions. She loved her children and adored her granddaughters, great-granddaughter and fur-babies Sandy Joy and Phoebe Grace. Our hearts are broken but take solace in knowing you no longer suffer in pain and rest in the Lord’s peace.
