Glennidean was born January 17, 1938, in Cherryvale, Kansas to Yvonna Josephine Field and Glen Harold George. She was raised by Josephine and stepfather, Jack Easley. She loved Jack; he treated her well and was the only father she knew.

Glennidean loved attending Navy ship reunions with Pete. She especially loved serving as a host at Down Under Campground in Turney, Missouri, where she was affectionately called Jellybean. She enjoyed her children and grandchildren visiting the campground, playing Bingo, and watching her grandchildren dance at the Saturday night dances. Glennidean enjoyed puzzles, reading, playing cards, collecting lighthouses, and watching the Green Bay Packers.
