Judith Nancy Glenn

Judith “GG” Glenn, who lived 83 adventurous years, making friends wherever she went and loved by many, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 28, 2023.

She was born on October 7, 1940 in Patterson, New Jersey to the late George and Elise Ryther and lived a stylish and intrepid life. She lived a large and passionate life, living in many interesting places, and connecting with people from all walks of life. She boldly embraced careers in the real estate industry and employment services, ultimately becoming an entrepreneur, leader and mentor of women in the business community. She served on the Commission for Women in Delaware, appointed by the Governor. In addition, Judith was committed to many causes, volunteering as a project director AARP, an ambassador for MediGold, and a Vista Leader for the Red Cross. She lived most of her life in Gahanna, Ohio where she was a civil service commissioner and president of the Lincoln Elementary PTO. She enjoyed international travel, supporting numerous political causes, jazz music, and a good glass of wine in the company of good friends and family.

Judith is survived by her sons, Kyle Tipton, Joel Tipton; grandchildren, Dana Tipton, Taylor Tipton, Elizabeth Tipton, Evan Tipton; brothers, Thomas Ryther, Stephen Ryther, Paul Ryther; sister, V'ann Ryther; and many other loving family and friends.

Cremation has taken place and a private service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Judith's name to The American Red Cross P.O. Box 37839, Boone, IA 50037-0839.

“I expect to pass through this life but once. If therefore there is any kindness I can show, or any good I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” -- Words that Judith Glenn lived by.
