Glenn Pugmire

Glenn Donald Pugmire
Glenn Donald Pugmire, 90, passed away peacefully on April 2, 2014, in Gilbert, Arizona.
Glenn was born on August 19, 1923, as the son of Justin and Clara Pugmire in Midvale, Utah. Glenn grew up in typical Depression era circumstances with little material wealth. Family, faith and industry, however, more than compensated for financial challenges. Glenn grew up with seven siblings, Gerald, Devearl, Farrell, LaVon, Theora, Glenn, and June.
Glenn met June Leitzell at Jordan High School and married her before leaving for WWII military service in the Air Corps. When he returned from Pacific theater service, Glenn and June raised
six children, Donald Glenn (Jolene), Robyn June Stone (Ron), Mark Dee (Laurel), Brent Justin (Terri), Julee Ann Brady (Pat), and Marcee Jo Alston (Steve).
Glenn’s love for construction and building not only provided for his family as a construction engineer for Amoco Oil but building was also his happiest hobby. During Glenn’s and June’s life
together, Glenn and June were unusually happy and devoted. Their most enduring legacy is their exceptionally strong romance. Glenn was also devoted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many church callings, including bishop in Portland, Oregon and
Overland Park Kansas, an ordained patriarch, a temple ordinance worker, and a full time mission in Bermuda. Glenn cared for June until her death on April 25, 2011. He later married June’s best
friend, Martha Barton and loved his time with her. Glenn is grandfather to 33 grandchildren and great-grandfather to 65 great- grandchildren.
Funeral services will be Friday, April 11, at 12 p.m., at Midway Stake Center, 165 North Center Street, Midway, Utah
