Glen Barnes Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Glen was a truck driver primarily hauling milk for Coleman Dairy. He loved casting a line on a muddy river, never passed up a good dessert especially with a cup of coffee, always had a favorite cologne on hand, and couldn't resist the thrill of trying his luck at the casino. He never met a stranger-always quick with a smile and a story-and could play a mean harmonica when the mood struck, or a kid ask.
Glen was preceded in death by his parents; and wifes, Dorothy L Hood of 27 years and Jackie L Jackson of 32 years; sisters, Jonnie, Lois, LaVonda; brother, Carl; and son in law, Doug.
He is survived by his sister, Wilma; and brothers, Jimmy, Tommy, and Bobby Joe; two children, Lisa Thurmond and Doyle Barnes; one grandson, Michael (Aida) Thurmond; two great grandsons, Jordon and Matthew Thurmond.
Visitation will be 5:30 PM, Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at Heber Springs Funeral Home followed by the Funeral Service at 6:30 PM.
