Glenn was born on February 27, 1913 on the Keeney Farm near Abel, Iowa, the daughter of Aaron and Edna (Keeney) Macy. Glenn spent only a few years in Iowa before traveling to Miles City by train, and then by wagon to the homestead on Rough Creek (Randalls) her parents chose. She lived there until her high school years when the family moved to Broadus and started the Pastime Theatre in what used to be "Shorty's Garage. During these years she started playing for dances with her family's orchestra. This was a means for supplementing the income. She always played piano and sometimes violin. While her dad played drums, her sister the violin, brother the banjo, and her mom the piano. Education meant a lot to Glenn's dad, Aaron Macy, and she promised him she would graduated from high school before marrying Ogden just 10 days after graduation. She then moved to the Edwards ranch on Powder River where she learned to herd sheep, take care of a family, help with haying, and enjoy the brothers-in-law that she inherited with the Edwards family. These years of living in the sheep wagon with Ogden and later her girls were some of the best times and stories of her life. She made that wagon a real "home" with built in cupboards, special beds with "feather ticks" and their meals prepared on a sheep wagon stove. She had learned the rudiments of carpentry work from her father and used these skills all her life.
It was during her high school years that she first met Florabel Harkins (Wash) and they became such close friends then later became sisters-in-law. After both of them losing husbands they remained close, and in the last years of their lives in Broadus were able to resume that friendship of a lifetime. They went to VFW meetings and started making music together with Glenn on piano and Florabel on harmonica. They also spent a lot of time visiting with friends. Glenn could not drive at that time so Florabel would come pick her up and off they would go on some adventure. The years of living on the Edwards ranch were full of making a home, working with Dale and Dorothy Edwards, sharing so much of their lives together with Dorothy and Glenn providing times together that all their children remember with fond memories. Also sharing that time was Minnie Edwards, stepmother of Odgen and Dale, who was a great influence on Glenn as well as a caring mother-in-law.
After Ogden's death, Glenn remained at the ranch until her daughters entered high school. She took a job at the Broadus Post Office working for Ethel James and later Jessie Wellman. It was during the girls high school years that Glenn started playing for dances again with Blackie Hill's Orchestra in the 50's. Glenn loved to entertain and music was the mainstay of her life. After Eugene's death, Glenn moved her trailer back to Broadus, living at the Wayside Trailer Park until December of 1999 when she entered the Powder River Manor.
She met Eugene Henke in 1958 and they were married on August 16, 1959 following Verna Lee's graduation from high school. They spent the years until his death in 1981 traveling the western United States while Eugene helped to build transmission lines for rural electric companies. Again, Glenn made a home of their 40-foot trailer, building extra cupboards, making a place for her piano. Those were special years crossing the Continental Divide 17 times going to jobs in the different states, making new friends, sight seeing, fishing, and gathering antiques. She built a camper on the back of their pickup so they could go on weekends to out of the way places.
Glenn was a member of the Powder River Congregational UCC Church and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary in Broadus. Glenn loved her sons-in-law, Bob and Herb, as she had no sons of her own. She spent a lot of time doing projects with them, and they could do no wrong in her eyes, just as her brothers-in-law, and her one brother, Ronald, had been her pals throughout her life.
Glenn was the last member of her family as her parents, Aaron and Edna Macy preceded her in death as well as her sisters, Gertie and Anona, her half sisters: Esther Overton and Ethel Hodges and her only brother, Ronald.
Glenn is survived by her children: Illa Dee and Robert Talcott of Broadus, MT; Verna Lee and Herb Scheierman of Fountain, CO; her grandchildren: Julie (Talcott) Nunez and her husband Marcel of Slidell, LA; Brian Lyle Talcott of Sacramento, CA; Curtis Eugene Talcott and his wife Amy of Gillette, WY; four great grandchildren: Brandi and Tyler Nunez, and Damion and Devon Talcott.
