On February 7, 1931, the world welcomed Phyllis (Babe) Jean Glenn, in a small Minnesota town. A dynamo born to Floyd and Kitty Johnson alongside a brother, Don, and a sister, Shirley, she painted her early years with the vibrant hues of familial love. A true Minnesotan at heart, Phyllis embodied a Midwestern spirit of hard work, kindness, and boundless love. Launching into adulthood as a skilled X-ray technician, she traded snowy landscapes for the sun-kissed shores of Santa Monica, California, where fate introduced her to the love of her life, Thomas David Glenn. Their love story unfolded like a Hollywood romance, and together they danced through the chapters of life.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush of quiet birds in flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die." -Mary Elizabeth Frye-
