KATIE GLENN

Katherine “Katie” Glenn, 83, of Illinois, formerly of Lexington, died April 28, 2023.

Born in New York City, to Freeman and Katherine Brooks, in December 1939, she spent her childhood in the New York suburb of Rye.

In 1960, she married Todd R. Glenn of Evanston, Ill., and in 1961 graduated from Northwestern University, Evanston. She taught in middle school until their first child, Elisabeth, was born in 1963. At that point, she became a full-time mother and homemaker.

Elisabeth was followed by Stephen in 1966 and by Carolyn in 1975. During those years there were her husband’s career-related moves to New Jersey and Springfield, Ill. Then the family settled for 20 years in Glen Ellyn, Ill. There, she managed a Girl Scout troop, was involved in Bible studies and had various responsibilities in her church, and worked part-time work in the public school system.

In 1989, the couple moved, for 20 years, to Lexington. During those years, nine grandchildren were born and she taught a Bible Study Fellowship class. Returning to Illinois in 2010, the Glenns settled in Arlington Heights. They were members of the Orchard Evangelical Free Church.
