Glen


Glen Eugene Anderson of Grand Prairie, Texas was born in Dallas, Texas on April 17, 1961. He passed away peacefully on August 5, 2008. Those left behind to cherish Glen’s memory are his wife of 25 years, Rhonda; Father Larry Anderson, Mother Marion Smith Sessions and Step-Father Dale Sessions; Brothers Mark and Paul Anderson; Sister Patricia Sessions; Grandparents Jessica Merrifield Bolding and Pem Smith; Nephews David Sessions, Mickey Anderson and Ryan Cortez, Niece Melanie Anderson; Niece and godchild Angela Cortez, and Great Niece Malorie Anderson.

As a boy Glen was loving and generous. He and his brothers would sit eating candy and Glen would always have some left over that he would inevitably share with his brothers. Glen was so generous through out his life that he would give to others and do without himself. He was an all star base ball player and also played foot ball throughout his childhood and teen years. As a man he was a devoted husband, son, and brother. In his free time he enjoyed watching and playing sports. He worked for the Ford company for many years providing for his family.

Glen and his wife Rhonda had the love story that most people would say could never happen except in movies. They met and were soon in love at 14. A love story spanning 33 years and a marriage that covered 25 of them. They lived their lives for each other.

Glen was very proud of his American Indian heritage. From his father he was one fourth Native American of the Choctaw Nation, one of the first five civilized tribes.

On his mother’s side he is also a descendent of Daniel Boone since Daniel’s mother was a Merrifield. Glen was from a pioneer family as the Merrifield’s were one of the earliest settlers of Dallas and the outlying areas.

The Smith’s where also one of the early settlers in Duncanville and where close to the Merrifield’s. The Smith’s worked a lot in the Methodist Church and in the community. They served on the Duncanville school board. Community minded they did everything they could for others.
