The family moved to Colorado Springs in 1947 and Delcena graduated from Main High School in the spring of 1948. Shortly thereafter, Delcena went to California, where she met and married her husband, John Clifford "Pete" Glenn. Delcena was called home and glorified on August 9, 2011. Delcena was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Leota Zentz, as well as two brothers, Bill Zentz and Jerry Zentz, and two grandsons Dustin Schmeiser and Joey Glenn. Delcena is survived by her husband of sixty-two years and their four children; John (Sandi) Glenn of Okeechobee, FL; Ron (Becky) Glenn of Colorado Springs, CO; Cathy (Mike) Dunn of Three Rivers, MI; David (Karen) Glenn of Colorado Springs, CO.

Anyone who ever met and spent time with Delcena knew that she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her wisdom, her comforting and warm embrace, and her giving nature will live in our memories forever, and she will be greatly missed.

Mom,
When I look back on all the time we spent together, I realize how much I have been blessed to have you in my life. How much I have appreciated all you did. We have gone through so much together, and you were always there, through the laughter, through the tears, through the joys and accomplishments, and through life’s trials. You taught me so much, and I am who I am because of you. You have always been my mother, but at a defining point in my life, you became my best friend. I thank God for every precious moment we were able to spend together. You left us with so many memories that will always live deep inside our hearts. I have always been so proud to be your daughter and I love you and will miss you so very much.
Your loving daughter,
Cathy
