Glenn Eugene Perry

    Glenn Eugene Perry, 94, of Queen Creek, Arizona, went home to his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, September 30, 2025 in the comfort of his home, surrounded by loved ones.

    Glenn was born in Oil City, PA on July 30, 1931, the son of Graydon and Urla (Hockman) Perry.  

    On June 5, 1954 he married Billie Jean Marshall, who preceded him in death.

    He was a member of the Oil City Church of the Nazarene, serving as an usher and an instrumental part of their bus ministry.

    Glenn spent most of his working career as a truck driver, delivering coal for a short period of time but then delivering for, and eventually retiring from,  Sears Roebuck.  

    In 1981 he moved to Mesa, Arizona where he worked as the head of maintenance at a nursing home, eventually returning to live again in Pennsylvania.  He spent his last few years living with his children in South Carolina and Arizona.

    He is survived by three children:  Penny Smith and her husband Terry of Show Low, Arizona, Gregg Perry and his wife Norma of Queen Creek, Arizona, and Candy Heckathorn and her husband Tedd of Conway, South Carolina; six grandchildren:  Natasha Botelho (Cory), Brandon Van Wormer, Taylor Wilson (Ben), Griffin Perry, Nick Luton (Cristen), Charlie Luton (Christy); five great-granchildren and many nieces and nephews.

    Also surviving are two sisters, Shirley Alden of Cranberry, PA  and Doris Nagy of Edmond, OK. 

    In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his parents, Graydon and Urla Perry, a sister, Lois Mae Perry, a brother-in-law Dick Alden and a brother-in-law Jim Nagy.

    Per Glenn’s request, there is no memorial or funeral service.
