Glenn was married to his wife, Dixie (Whitis), for close to 64 years. Glenn was a proud member of the Air Force for 24 years. After retiring, he made his way to become a machine maintenance technician at Clorox. Glenn was an avid gardener; from peas to carrots, he could grow anything. His garden was a sight to see! He loved anything outdoors; hunting and fishing were the two hobbies he spent most of his time doing. Glenn adored his family. He did anything and everything he could to see them happy. His grandchildren were the absolute lights of his life; they never ceased to make him smile!
He is preceded in death by his father, Hank Coenen; mother, Clara (Erickson); and son, Michael Coenen.
He is survived by his loving wife, Dixie (Whitis) Coenen; two sons, Donald E. Coenen and James L. Coenen of Rogers, AR; and his daughter, Susie (Coenen) Thomas; two brothers; and four sisters. His grandchildren are Jordon Thomas, Dakota Coenen, Caleigh McMahon, Pierce Coenen, and Max Coenen; his great-grandchildren are Ash-Lynn Thomas and Bryson Thomas.
