from Charles City High School at the age of 16. A farmer by trade, he
considered it a privilege to be able to tend the soil.
Glenn treasured the written word and will be remembered for the volumes
of the journal he started at age 19 and continued daily until 2013. This

of the St. Charles Volunteer Fire Department for more than 30 years, rural
fires and monthly meetings were recorded.
After retiring, Darlene and Glenn worked as a team to become Master
Gardeners and were instrumental in creating the Farmer's Market in
Charles City. They supplied garden produce and baked goods until 2012. He
mended books at the Charles City Library, delivered Meals on Wheels, called
bingo at Cedar Health nursing home, loved the challenges of a new woodworking
project, joined in community Bible studies and enjoyed singing in community
choirs. Glenn was a 4-H leader and lifelong member of the Farm Bureau.
Glenn is survived by his wife, Darlene Heitz of Charles City; three
children: Carol (Bill) Schmidt of Rudd, Randall (Marilyn) Heitz and
Jeanine (Joe) Tudor both of Charles City; nine grandchildren: Emily
(Jim) Massey, Alyson (Aaron) Baltes, Derek (Carri) Heitz, Monica Heitz,
Jessica (Stuart) Hall, Alex (Rosnee) Heitz, Amy Heitz, Eric Tudor and
Aaron Tudor; five great-grandchildren; a daughter-in-law, Linda Heitz
of Lee's Summit, Mo.; and a sister, Velma (Donald) Schlick of Charles City.

memorials be directed to the family or to an organization of choice.
