She died in her husband's loving arms, and awoke in the arms of her blessed Savior, Jesus Christ.She was born Feb. 8, 1926 to Mary and Elmer Blevins. As a coal miner's daughter, Sybil cherished her idyllic childhood growing up in the hills of West Virginia surrounded by the love of 10 siblings, her extended family and loyal friends in the little mining town of Mahan.Sybil met her true love, Gene Glash, in those hills when she was 11 years old. She married him at age 17 just as he was leaving to fight in WWII. They moved to Houston after the War and became one of the greatest love stories of all time, celebrating 66 years of marriage this past year.

Ron,

Please accept my condolences on passing of your Mom. I clearly remember a dozen or so years ago when you brought her to the office after hours one day and introduced me. Etched in my mind is a perky little lady in tennis sneakers keeping you in your place during our chat. I am sure you, your Dad and family will have many good memories to cherish.

Sincerely,

Tim Wasp

Dear Glash and Blevins families,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Sybil and Gene played such a big part in my life many years ago when they lead the youth groups at Oaklawn Presyterian. They shared so much love and fun with us. Just know how much she meant to so many and that love will carry on forever. God bless you all, Love, Kay (Keith) Lee
