Glenna Wagstaff Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 29, 2025.
Glenna Marie Molen, 93, peacefully passed away on September 18, 2025. A longtime resident of Phoenix, Arizona, and later Katy, Texas, she most recently lived in San Clemente and Mission Viejo, California. Glenna was married to Roy Francis Molen for 27 years, and their marriage was solemnized in the Mesa Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Glenna dedicated her life to her family as a loving wife and devoted mother. She was blessed with six children: Kim Strautins of Laguna Niguel, CA; Tracy Rockowitz of Sandy, UT; Ric Molen of Fountain Valley, CA; Jayme Burkhart of Katy, TX; Rebecca Molen of Sandy, UT; and Skip Molen of Beaverton, OR. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren as well as her two sisters, Carolyn Kay Sorenson of Phoenix, AZ and Shari June Porterfield of Huntington Beach, CA.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Roy Francis Molen; her parents, Frank and Wylene Wagstaff; her sister, Jean Willo Wagstaff; and her brother, James McGinty Wagstaff.

In addition to her commitment to her family, Glenna served with great faith and dedication in a variety of volunteer roles within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She also had a deep passion for fashion and grace, having worked as a model and later shared her talents by teaching modeling classes.

A memorial service will be held in her honor on October 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 28291 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677.

Glenna's unwavering love and devotion will be greatly missed. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the staff at San Clemente Villas and Granny's Place in Mission Viejo for their compassionate care during the last few years of her life.
