November 29, 2016 brought to a close 84 years of a life well lived for Glenna Goodson. She passed away while at St Anthony's Hospital. Glenna was born May 14, 1932 to Herschel 'Doc' and Hester Oglesbee. Glenna began life in her beloved Gravelly, Arkansas. She moved to Little Rock to attend university and train for her long career as a teacher. She married Fred Goodson in 1952 and moved to the Tulsa area where Fred worked for Douglas Aircraft and soon transitioned to his career in the Elevator trade. Glenna continued her education and was ready with a teaching degree when the couple and their two sons, Ellis and Russell, moved to Oklahoma City in 1960. Glenna worked for a short time for Moore school systems before transitioning in the mid-1960s to Oklahoma Public schools and her long career as an elementary school teacher at Coolidge located in SW Oklahoma City. She continued her schooling and achieved her Masters in Education degree at OCU. Her parents were present at the Oklahoma City diploma ceremony. Glenna was a great source of pride to her father and mother as their first college educated child. Cooldige was home until she retired 20 years ago. But her love of teaching was so great that she continued to work almost full time as a substitute teacher. During this retirement period Mom enjoyed times spent at the Texoma lake cabin with her husband Fred and all his fishing cronys. But she also had her heart set on moving back to Gravelly, Arkansas. She did move back lived several years in a small bungalow directly across the street from her parents old home. She was very active in Church and commuted far and wide working for the Masonic lodge and the church. Glenna belonged to Gravelly Chapter #580 Order of the Eastern Star of Arkansas. Her sister Kathy is bringing a star that all OES members have at their funeral. Glenna returned to her home in Oklahoma City about ten years ago when her health became problem prone. Diabetes contributed to some of these health worries and she wanted to be closer to convenient doctor options. She continued her long time relationship with Mayridge Baptist Church when she moved back. Sometime after her return, Fred was also forced to return to the Oklahoma City home. In his case, strokes forced his move. So the couple was together again. Fred died in January of 2011. Glenna continued to live in her home with her youngest son Russell as her caretaker. Her eldest son Ellis joined her 4 years ago and added to the caretaking. Glenna loved life. She loved teaching kids. And a lot of people loved her. Her Christian faith was often spoken of in her regular newspaper column. She got that greatest of gifts from her outstanding parents, Hester and Doc Oglesbee. Glenna will enjoy being in Heaven with everyone she loved in Gravelly, Arkansas already there waiting for her. Her folks, Hester and Doc, her brother Bob Roy, husband Fred and lots of Fourche Valley classmates.
