Glenn Allen Cook

Glenn Allen Cook, a dedicated and honorable retired member of the United States Army, passed away peacefully in his home in Conley, Georgia on January 18, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Born on May 23, 1942, in Miami, Florida, Glenn touched the lives of many.

Glenn's career spanned over two decades in the United States Army. He served with the 56^th ADA as a Nike Hercules Missile Crew Chief. He retired with the rank of SFC. Glenn’s long years of service were a testament to his commitment to his country.

Glenn had a deep appreciation for music and took joy in listening to show tunes as well as music from the 1950’s and 60’s.  He also enjoyed traveling with his beloved wife Mary. Through their 62 years of marriage, they traveled around the country enjoying God’s creation.

Glenn was an avid sports fan, especially baseball. He would passionately proclaim every year that he would never watch the Braves play again – only to find himself cheering them on the following season: Pepsi and popcorn in hand.

Cook, Mother, AnnMarie Cook and brother, Donald Cook.
