Glenna Haley Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 5, 2025.
Glenna Haley, age 81, passed away on Monday, August 4, 2025. Glenna was born on September 5, 1944 in Leuders, Texas. She grew up in Fresno, California with her parents, Modell and Glynn Polacek. After meeting her husband, Dan Haley, the two settled in Sacramento, California with their son, Steven Schneider.

Glenna ran a successful CPA firm with her husband for 45 years, and the two restored two homes, including the Pendleton Hyholme mansion in Loomis, California. After retiring, Glenna spent her time with her husband, her family and friends. She loved gardening, hosting a soirée, doing puzzles with her dogs, visiting with her many friends, and enjoying her large family.

Glenna was many things- smart, funny, strong-willed, loving, mischievous, loyal, generous, and feisty. She was passionate about life and passionate about her family. She never hesitated to tell you how she felt, or to give you a hug.

Glenna is survived by her husband, Dan, their daughter, Chelsea, and her spouse, Lony, by her daughters-in-law, Camille and Maryanne, by her grandchildren, Trevor, Teresa, Dillon, Madison, Esme, and Aoife, and by her great grandchildren, Skyler, Delilah and Archer.

A committal service for Glenna will be held on August 15, 2025 at 1 PM at the Newcastle Cemetery. A Celebration of Life party will be held at the Haley family home on August 16, 2025 from 11 AM to 3 PM. A buffet lunch will be served. The family invite you to raise a glass and share your fondest memory of Glenna.

We love you Glenna. You were always such a welcoming neighbor, with a smile and a hug. You treated our kids like second grandchildren, spoiling them with pool time, fruit from the orchard, trick or treats and graden bounties.
We could clearly see the love Dan and you shared how lucky you both were. We couldn't be happier to have shared our Surette time with you as friends and neighbors. You will be deeply missed my friend.

I've known Glenna for so many years, and one of my favorite memories of her still makes me smile. We were in New Orleans with Vivian and Ed Martin and ended up in a lively Cajun bar.
Glenna, tiny as she was, somehow ended up on stage with a
washboard strapped to her chest
-playing music with the band and bouncing around like a jumping bean! It was the most unexpected, hilarious, and perfectly Glenna moment. Her jo! is contagious, and vou couldn't ..help but laugh along with her.
She may have been small in stature, but Glenna had one of the biggest hearts l've ever known.
Her feistiness, warmth, and light will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Glenna Girl.
Maddy and Billy
