Glenn Aiken O'Sheal, a cherished member of the Greenville community, passed away on December 10, 2025, at the McCall Hospice House in Simpsonville, SC. Born on July 29, 1940, in Greenville, South Carolina, Glenn dedicated his life to serving others through education and gardening.

For 42 remarkable years, Glenn worked within the Greenville County School System's library, where he inspired countless students and staff alike with his love for knowledge and learning. His passion for education was matched only by his devotion to personal growth, evidenced by his achievement as a South Carolina Master Gardener. Glenn's nurturing spirit extended beyond his professional life; he was a loving gardener who found joy in cultivating both plants and relationships.

In addition to his dedication to his career, Glenn served his country honorably in the U.S. Army for two years, demonstrating his selflessness and commitment to community service. He was known for his intelligence and generosity, traits that endeared him to family and friends.

Glenn enjoyed a variety of hobbies that enriched his life and the lives of those around him. He was an avid reader with a particular fondness for books, as well as a talented singer who brought joy through his musical expressions. His enthusiasm for crossword puzzles reflected his sharp mind and love for challenges.

Glenn leaves behind a loving family. He is survived by his brothers Gary O'Sheal (Fonda), Carroll O'Sheal (Hazel), and Mike O'Sheal (Patty), as well as 11 cherished nieces and nephews who will carry his legacy forward.

He is predeceased by his parents, Pinkney and Eglan Starkey O'Sheal, and his brothers Curtis, Marion, and Benny O'Sheal, who is survived by Linda.

As we remember Glenn, we honor a life filled with love, intelligence, and an unwavering commitment to generosity. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
