Glenn Morris Jennings

Glenn Morris Jennings, aged 90, passed away Monday, April 27, 2026, in the ICU at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman. He was born on September 14, 1935, in Dallas, Texas. Survived by his loving wife of 53 years Sharon Jennings. Also surviving him is his sister Betty Arnwine of New Braunfels, Texas and many nephews and nieces.

Preceding him in death were his parents John Earnest Jennings and Jeffie Hawkins Jennings as well as sisters Pat King, Jo Kalenic, and brother C. E. Buddy Jennings.

Glenn attended Sunset High School in Dallas on Tuesdays and Thursdays! The rest of his time was spent working on his latest hot car.

Glenn served 22 years in the US Navy as a corpsman retiring as a Chief Hospitalman. He spent 5 tours in Vietnam and was on the following ships: USS Belle Grove LSD-2, USS Pickaway APA-222, USS Renville APA-227, USS Thomaston LSD-28. Glenn completed Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Training or SERE school.

In 1972, Glenn married the love of his life, Sharon, in Albany, Georgia. Their 53-year union was a testament to enduring love and partnership. Together, they built a life rich in love, laughter, and shared adventures.

Glenn was an avid bass fisherman, hunter, outdoorsman and poker player. Working in the yard and tending his vegetable garden gave him deep satisfaction. Glenn would look around at the wonders of nature and say how could anyone not believe in God when we have all this.

After retiring from the Navy, Glenn became part owner of a dental delivery service and then worked for Baylor Dental College in Dallas, retiring in 2000.
