December 8, 1926 - October 27, 2017

She spent her early years in Carbon and Davis counties. She graduated from Davis High School and attended BYU. She married Clarence Bruce Bliss May 23, 1947, in the Salt Lake Temple. He died in action in Korea in 1952. She raised their two children as a single mother until she married William H. Ross in 1966. They lived in Nevada, New Jersey, Alabama, and retired to Utah.

She was an active member of the LDS Church where she served in leadership positions with the Young Women and Relief Society, and was a service missionary. She was a member of the DUP and Beta Sigma Phi sorority. Glenna will be remembered for her service, her generosity, her unstoppable energy, and her beautiful red hair.
