F Glen Waldron Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

F. Glen Waldron passed away Thursday morning, February 20, 2020, at Utah Valley Hospital and was surrounded and supported by family as he left this mortal life. Glen was born August 7, 1930 in Malad, Idaho. He lived in Samaria, Idaho until he was 11 years old when he then moved with his family to North Hollywood, California. He was the firstborn of seven siblings born to Fredrick T. Waldron, and Ruby Archibald: Betty Bundy, Clarence “Chuck” Waldron (deceased), Carol Davis, Gil Waldron, Floyd Waldron, and Audrey Evans. Glen married Connie LaRae Pulaski on April 9, 1965 in the Los Angeles Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is survived by his wife, Connie; all of his nine children: Richard & Kimberly Waldron, Daphne & Kerry Herbst, Paul & Amy Waldron, David & Kristy Waldron, LaRae and Forrest Hopkins, Nancy Price, Anne-Marie & Robert Bishop, Matthew & April Waldron, and Alison Waldron. He is also survived by 59 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren. Glen served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sao Paulo, Brazil between 1949 and 1952. When he returned from his mission, he served in the US Army where he successfully completed Ranger school and served active duty in Germany from 1953 to 1955 with the “Big Red One.” He graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor’s degree in 1959 and later received a Master’s degree from Long Beach State in 1972. Glen began his teaching career in the Anaheim School District where he taught at Savanna, Kennedy and Anaheim high schools. In 1971, Glen left teaching public school to teach institute for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was an institute instructor at Mount San Antonio Institute of Religion and then became an institute director at the Costa Mesa Institute of Religion. After a few years of teaching institute, he was hired to work for the BYU California Center where he helped to run Education Week and other BYU programs in California. After serving as the BYU California Center director for several years, he transferred to BYU in Provo where he was an evening school counselor and then an administrator for BYU Continuing Education. He retired at the age of 74 after a long and fulfilling career in the field of education. Anyone who knows Glen knows that he was an energetic ambassador for these educational programs which he vigorously promoted until the end of his life. Glen loved the Savior, Jesus Christ and was a tireless servant and missionary. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints he served in many teaching positions. He also served as a Bishop; as a branch president three times: in Germany, in a YSA branch and at the MTC; as a high councilor in several stakes; and as a BYU stake mission president. He and his wife, Connie, served two missions together, a service mission at the Transient Service Office and an 18 month mission as Stake MLS missionaries from 2014 to 2015. This brought them both great joy. Although he was baptized at 8 years old, he experienced a whole-hearted conversion at age 16. Since that time he was an avid reader of the scriptures and one of his greatest accomplishments was reading the Book of Mormon daily without missing for decades. He was full of enthusiasm and energy for his family, friends and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
