Obituary For Glenna D. Atkins

Glenna was born and raised in Iowa but throughout her lifetime lived in many states including Arizona, California, Oregon, and New Mexico.

Glenna loved to tell stories about her adventurous life. She lived on a commune in Oregon for a time and was a cab driver in Flagstaff, Arizona. Janis Joplin once slept on her floor in Haight-Ashbury in the 1960s.

For the past decade Glenna lived in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. If you gained Glenna’s trust, she was a fiercely loyal friend. She helped anyone who needed it, even when she had little to give. Glenna’s laugh was as big and full as her very kind heart. She is survived by four brothers, one sister, and close friends Dominic Boeck of Truth or Consequences, NM; Christa Theilen of Brainerd, MN; and Lynn Wagner of Flagstaff, AZ.

I have been searching for Glenna for years, sadly it was this obituary that provided the information to locate her. She was my birth mother, I know very little about her and would love to hear any details, stories about her life, any photos of her as well would be greatly appreciated. I Hope to connect with relatives. I can be contacted through Facebook since mine isn't a common name I should be easy to locate. Thank You to everyone that loved and helped her over the years Tom Zalabak Eugene Oregon
