NASA Remembers Annie Glenn
The following is a statement on the passing of Annie Glenn, wife of former NASA astronaut Sen. John Glenn: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Annie Glenn. A stalwart member of the space and military communities, her courageous support of her legendary husband John was unmatched. “She provided an example for other women who followed to face the challenges of being part of our nation’s space program, and the stress of having spouses in combat. She stood steadfastly by her husband as he took to space once again as the oldest person to orbit Earth, even as she continued her own lifelong public service on behalf of children, the elderly, and the disabled. “The Glenns dedication to each other is well known, and we looked to them as an unmatched example of the strength and compassion that a lifetime of devotion creates. She will be missed.”
My Condolences to friends and family.? They were an amazing couple that lived a life that was amazing.
I met her once at a book signing with Col. (that’s how I always think of him since the first time I met him in 1961, when I was an AFROTC cadet). She was always there for him and he for her. Rest In Peace, Annie Glenn. Condolences to family and friends.
She was so extraordinary, I don’t even feel worthy of saying that. My condolences to her children and Grandchildren 🙁
