Obituary of Sally Glenn

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others. ~ Mandy Hale

Sally Glenn, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend to all, passed away unexpectedly with her family by her side on Tuesday, April 5, 2022. Sally was born August 20, 1958 and lived her entire life in Monterey County. She attended school in Castroville and graduated from North Salinas High School in 1976. Shortly after graduation, Sally started a lifelong career with the Social Security Administration, retiring with 40 years of service and a lifetime of friends she gathered along the way.

Sally had a welcoming smile and the ability to put people at ease with her easy going way. She could talk with anyone about anything, and she left you better by having spent time together. She lived authentically, cared deeply for her family and friends and showed up just when she was needed the most. Her best time spent was with her family, children, grandchildren, relatives she would visit and friends she would meet for coffee and conversation. Sally knew the secret of life was not in what you accumulated but in what you shared with others. She gave from her heart, loved fiercely and always found ways to help others. Her circle never stopped growing and we are all the better because of it.  Her passing has left an emptiness where her presence once filled.

Sally leaves behind the love of her life, Kenneth Glenn, married 29 years. They spent the last years traveling and visiting family whenever they could and were looking forward to more road trips and new places to explore; daughter Samantha (Isabella) Glenn, stepson Adam Glenn, stepdaughter Candace (David) Avila, father and mother-in-law, Verdan and Sylvia Glenn, brother Jose (Ninfa) Carrillo, grandchildren Alyssa, Noah, Sophia, Autumn, Thomas and Lucas; nieces Sarah Herrera, Amanda Glenn, Kayla Glenn, Erika Carrillo, Jessica Carrillo, nephews Michael (Brittany) Davis, Joe Dominguez, Brandon Carrillo, sister-in-law Valarie (Carl) Davis and many aunts, uncles and cousins.  The list of friends would have no end, please know you are remembered and blessed to be included in her life story.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at the Salinas Masonic Hall, 48 East San Joaquin Street.  Please join us to celebrate a life that celebrated life with great enthusiasm, humor and kindness.

In remembrance of Sally, please consider extending a hand of friendship to someone in need so that her circle will continue to grow.
