Glenn Savage

Glenn Savage, of Mineola, passed away on September 11, 2024, at the age of 90. Glenn was born on April 8, 1934, to William Eastland “Ethyl” Savage and Goldie Irene Savage. Glenn was born and raised in the Pine Mills Community and remained a lifetime resident of Wood County. 

Glenn married the love of his life, Betty Skinner Savage, on December 30, 1961 at Humble Baptist Church in Mineola. The pair spent over 60 memorable years together, creating countless memories. 

Glenn spent over four decades working as a Supervisor for Buddy Schoellkopf, showcasing dedication and commitment in all he did. He found peace in his faith as a long-time member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Quitman. In his spare time, Glenn enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, often found fishing or spending time with his grandkids and great-grandkids. One of his treasured memories was preparing stew on the banks of Sandy Creek surrounded by his family. His family was the pride and joy of his life, and his greatest accomplishment was creating happy memories and instilling strong values in his loved ones.
