Glenn D. Minze - Fairfield

Loving husband, caring dad, wonderful granddaddy, Glenn Dale passed from this 
world to a place where there is no cancer or pain anymore. He was born on Dec. 
5, 1947, and passed away on Jan. 29, 2007, in the arms of his loving family at 
his home in Streetman. He was the youngest of three sons born to Dudley and 
Ruble Minze. He grew up in the St. Elmo/Winkler community and was a member of 
the New Hope Baptist Church. Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. today at

Pallbearers will be Mark Duke, Kelly Cobos, Erich Brown, Paul Lopez, John 
Gellegos and Clay Faughn. Glenn Dale attended Fairfield High School and 
graduated with the class of 1966. Shortly after graduation he married his high 
school sweetheart, Sherrie Carroll of Streetman. This was the beginning of a 
marriage that would last more than 40 years. From this marriage were born three
sons: Jeffrey Glenn, Joseph Dean ?Jody,? and Gene Allen. These three red-headed
boys would learn from their dad the values of working hard to provide for your
family, the fun of preparing for the sitting around the camp fire at the opening
weekend of deer season each year, and treating other folks the way you want to
be treated. Glenn Dale worked for 30 years at the TXU Big Brown Power Plant in
Fairfield. He is survived by his loving wife, Sherrie; sons, Jeff and wife 
Tammy of Corsicana, Jody and wife Teresa of Fairfield, and Gene of Streetman; 
grandchildren, Cullen, Colby, Morgan, Mason, Aaron and Averi; brothers, Johnny
and wife Harriett of Longview, and Bud and wife Sherrill of Streetman; two 
aunts, Peggy Toms and Jettie Bell, both of Corsicana; and a host of nephews, 
nieces and cousins. He also had a special aunt and uncle in his life from the 
time he married Sherrie, Nell and Harris Wilson Milner of Streetman. Glenn Dale
was preceded in death by his father and mother, Dudley and Rubie Minze; and by
his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Gordon ?Bert? and Edith Carroll.
