Her life began September 28, 1940, in Elwood, Indiana to Burl and Della Hobson.  Burl died when Glennie was young, so her stepfather, Huffman “Huff” Shaw, raised her.

Glennie was a devoted Christian, having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. She attended New Life Community Church and was a long-time member of the First Reformed Church, both in Three Oaks, Michigan. Glennie’s sons and grandchildren were the joy of her life. Previously, she enjoyed crocheting and baking for her loved ones. She will be remembered for her sense of humor, care giving, friendliness, and ability to love all those around her.
