Glenn was born to Murrell and Bonnie Deela on March 17, 1954. He was the baby of 6 children. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, and most of all spending time with his grandkids. He was thrilled to be a papa.

He worked in the 70’s at the very 1st Atwoods to open before getting into the oilfield where he eventually became a transport driver until he became disabled in the early 90’s.

Glenn started his family in 1995 when he married Sueann. They welcomed their first child, Murrell later that year. The following year JR was born. He was always an active part of the boys’ lives from coaching them in baseball to teaching them how to run tractors or mow hay. They hunted and fished as much as they could. Even though he struggled with his health, he never allowed that to stop him from enjoying what he wanted to do.

He is survived by his wife, Sueann of the home, his sons: Murrell Deela of Lamedeer, Montana and Glenn Jr and wife, Jordyn of Wilburton; 5 grandbabies: Hayden, Allison, Thomas, Blakley, and Paisley; along with a host of fiends.

Glenn is preceded in death by his parents: Murrell and Bonnie Deela; and his four brothers: Henry, Ralph, Charlie and Rueben.

Services have been entrusted to Waldrop Funeral Home.
