She was born in Afton, OK to Oliver and Ada Bell Ager March 9, 1915.
Clarice grew up on a farm, 6½ miles east of Vinita, Oklahoma. She
attended Wayside School through the 8th grade often riding her pony to
classes. During this time, her mother drove her 20 miles for piano lessons
in the country. She graduated from Vinita High School in 1933. She
continued her education in Marysville, Missouri at the Northwest University
and graduated at Tahlequah Oklahoma, where she received her B.S.
degree.
Clarice's first two years of teaching was in a country school called Prairie
Chapel, where she had 5th grade through 8th grade classes. She later
became a primary teacher at Riverside School in Vinita and later became
the principal of that school. From 1949 to 1952 she taught 2nd and 3rd
grades in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Clarice came to Richland in 1953, teaching 3rd
grade at Jefferson & Spaulding and 5th grade at Sacajawea and Lewis &

helped with Boy Scouts and Blue Birds. Her life of service continued after

Clarice was baptized in Vinita, Oklahoma in 1946 at the First Baptist
Church. From that time on she has lived close to Jesus. She was a
member of the Richland Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School
for several years and assisted with Bible School. Her church was an
amazing support system and contributed to her longevity. She sang in the
Senior choir and took advantage of Senior outings there as well.
On June 18, 1954 she married Bruce Glenn. She enjoyed the beauty of
the outdoors; enjoyed fishing with her husband; square dancing; sewing,
gardening and crafts. Bruce and Clarice traveled to Europe twice; to Egypt
and The Holy Land; Hawaii; Australia and New Zealand and spent 15 years
as snowbirds in Mesa, Arizona where they enjoyed square dancing,
swimming, and sunshine. They also saw much of the United States by
motorhome.
Her later years were spent in Richland and the last three years at
Brookdale, Richland. She loved people and was enjoying her new friends
there.

Dawn Marie and her husband Bob; three grandchildren Chris Glenn
(Adelina), Heather Souriyavongsa (Sommok), and Brandon Glenn; and five
great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Bruce; her
