Glenn Conaway, 86, of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, went home to be with his Lord and Savior at his residence surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
He was born on July 17, 1938, in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, the son of Walter G. Conaway and Nettie Fay (Lytle) Conaway.
After graduating from Medicine Lodge High School, Glenn married Pearl (Wells) Conaway in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, on August 9, 1957. She survives and continues to reside in Medicine Lodge.
Glenn worked at various trades through the years including Cessna and as a carpenter working with his dad, building many houses in Medicine Lodge. He then obtained his ministerial credential and license with the Assemblies of God and pastored in Elkhart, Kansas, where he retired after serving as pastor for 22 1/2 years.
In his later years he has been a member of the Medicine Lodge, First Assembly of God Church.
Glenn's first and foremost devotion was to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and was followed by his unwavering dedication to his wife, Pearl of 67 years and his daughters and many grandchildren. He also just loved meeting new people and never met a stranger, just someone else that he needed to get to know.
He was always ready to help anyone he could, no matter their need, being a blessing to many of those around them. His teasing and humor were infectious and loved to make others laugh.To Glenn there was never an impossible task, only one he had not figured a way to accomplish yet. The grandkids immensely enjoyed his two special accomplishments of a three-seater bicycle he built and a lawnmower train he built that they rode for hours.
But the most important legacy he left his family was his faith in and commitment to following Jesus. He would read the Bible through a minimum of once a year for many years, as well as keeping a list of his family members to pray for them daily, making sure to not forget even one.
Surviving in addition to his wife, Pearl Conaway of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, are four daughters, Jeanette (Travis) McCauley of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, Patty Barrera of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, Chris (Jeff) Stacey of Mounds, Oklahoma, and Glenda (Gary) Kelton of San Angelo, Texas; 38 grandchildren and 83 great and great-great grandchildren; two sisters, Ada (Gilbert) Colborn of Kiowa, Kansas and Faye Conaway of Mountain Home, Arkansas; numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.
Glenn was preceded in death by his parents; one granddaughter, Shala Washington; and two brothers, Robert "Bob" Conaway Sr., and LeRoy Conaway.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at the Medicine Lodge First Assembly of God Church with Pastor Rodney Worsham and Pastor Rick Snodgrass officiating. Burial followed in Highland Cemetery, Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
Memorials may be made to the Medicine Lodge First Assembly of God Mission Fund or Interim Hospice in care of Larrison Funeral Home, 120 E. Lincoln, Medicine Lodge, KS 67104.
