Survivors include his four daughters, Katie Lackey and husband Tim, Liz Hammons and husband Keith, Maggie Byrne and husband TJ and Emily Oldham all of Fayetteville. Ten grandchildren, Josh, Rachel, Gus and James Hill, Emma Morar and husband Kensey, Glenn Hammons and wife Kristin, Jim Hammons and wife Lillie, Ellie Williams and husband Cole, Grady and Molly Byrne; five great grandchildren Caroline Morar, William Morar, Shane Hammons, Evy Hammons and Maddie Hammons; and one brother, Chris Oldham and wife Sharon of Lebanon. Glenn was preceded in death by his wife, Celia and parents, HG and Louise Oldham of Gallatin.
Glenn moved to Fayetteville in 1977 to become an agent with the Lincoln County Farm Bureau. He became the Agency Manager and retired after more than 35 years. Glenn was very active in his community serving on many boards and clubs throughout his lifetime. He was a current member of the Fayetteville Public Utilities Board of Directors, recently achieving NRECA Director Gold certification.
Glenn's greatest joy in life was his family. Known to many simply as Pa, he coached numerous youth sports teams over the years and left a lasting impact. Nothing made him happier than to have his family gathered around the table sharing a meal. He loved to donate to a good cause. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity or simply gather your family around the table and share a meal.
