William Glenn Watson

away on Thursday, December 11, 2025, following a battle with

cancer. Glenn was born on July 19, 1943, in Albany, Georgia. He

is preceded in death by his wife of 28 years, Ann Carter Watson,

his parents, William Cephas Watson and Margaret Janet Watson,

and his sister, Sharon Watson Cates. Glenn graduated from

Albany High School in Albany, Georgia, and attended Georgia

Southwestern College in Americus, Georgia.

Glenn began his career in pharmaceutical sales for Albany Serum

Company, and, in 2003, he retired from Bayer Corporation as the

Vice President of the Animal Health Division. He was a dedicated

professional who faithfully served the veterinary healthcare

industry, and he is held in high esteem among veterinarians

throughout Georgia. Glenn loved watching and playing golf and

reading. Those who knew him will remember his quick wit and,

most especially, how much he loved his five grandchildren and

how he loved being actively involved in their daily lives. He

regularly attended Mt. Bethel Church in Marietta, Georgia.

Glenn is survived by his two sons, Jason (Jeanne) Watson of

Smyrna, Bill (Melissa) Watson of Canton, his five grandchildren:

Dillon, Annie, Annagrace, Davis, and Andrew Watson, a brother,

Jimmy Watson, of DeFuniak Springs, Florida, and a niece, Neely

Bryant, of Midland City, Alabama.

A family graveside service will be held at Kennesaw Memorial

Park in Marietta with the Reverand William Griffin officiating. In
