Glenna V. Faus
January 22, 1933 -
April 28, 2016

Glenna V. Faus, age 83, exited home hospice to meet Jesus on Thursday, April 28, 2016.
Born on January 22, 1933 in Seminole, TX, she was the daughter of the late Lloyd and Vassie (Stanley) Fincher. Glenna graduated from Lamesa High School, where she had been active in the musical and theatrical programs as well as being a starting member of the girls’ basketball team. She became the church pianist at the age of 16 at the First Baptist Church of Lamesa.
On September 30, 1950, in Lamesa, TX, she was united in marriage to Larry H. Faus. Together they enrolled in Wayland Baptist University, from which she graduated with honors, double majoring in music and elementary education. They made Kenosha their home when Larry became the Pastor of the Fellowship Baptist Church in 2011.
She had four children, Vassie, Lawrence, Bryan and Verla. When Verla started kindergarten, Glenna began teaching middle school choral music, which she did for seventeen years. Six hours a day at the piano resulted in carpal tunnel problems so she returned to college to obtain a Master’s degree in reading and was hired as Director of Language arts for the Sparta School System, retiring at age 62.
She also served as a consultant in marriage relationships for the Southern Baptist Convention and directed workshops in several states. She continued to play piano for local church services until health problems caused cessation.
Glenna is survived by her husband of 65 years, Larry of Sturtevant; her children Vassie (David) Haynes of St. Louis, Lawrence (Patti) Faus of Kenosha, Pastor Bryan (Brenda) Faus of Euless, TX and Verla (Sue Frantz) Viera of Seattle, WA; seven grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren and her brother, Lloyd Irwin Fincher of Canyon, TX.

Mom's are so important in the life of a child and even more as we get older. She will be missed by you all. All I can say is hold on tight to those memories and speak of her often.
