Glenna Luella Burt Crabb, age 89 of Tuckerman, departed from this life to her heavenly home on Jan. 1, 2020.
She was born on April 12, 1930, in rural Jackson County Arkansas to the late Sydney and Pinky Burt and was the youngest of their six children (Uylssis, Alvin, V.L., Margrete, Norris, and Glenna).
Glenna was married to L.J. Crabb for 44 years from April 2, 1948 until his death in 1992. They had four sons, Jimmy, Danny, Stephen, and Stanley. Glenna loved spending time with family, gardening, and enjoyed many years of teaching ceramics and painting arts in her shop, The Ideal House, in Tuckerman.
She was a devoted member of First Baptist Church in Tuckerman for over 60 years and a member of the Trails to Tuckerman Historical Society. Glenna was an avid fan of Razorback basketball and St. Louis Cardinals baseball. If there was a “Hall of Fame for Mammas” she would have been selected on the first vote.
