Glenna Mae Kosch

Glenna Mae Kosch graced heaven’s presence to spend eternity with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on October 19, 2023. Glenna was born on February 22, 1927, to Harold and Florence Kopp. She grew up in Perrysburg, OH, graduating from Perrysburg High School. She worked at the Perry Dairy bar where she met the love of her life, Forest (Forey) Rae Kosch, a Maumee graduate, when he’d stop by for a cone. They tied the knot and became ’one’ on June 27, 1947. Glenna then left Perrysburg as a Yellow Jacket and came to the good side of the river to become a Maumee Panther, where she spent the rest of her life.

Living in Maumee brought her many joys, including being a longtime member of St. Paul’s Lutheran church; being part of its many ministries, including Happy Hearts, Soup suppers, and the women’s ministry where the lades would get together for Bible studies, support one another, help out with the rummage sales, serve church meals, and lots more. She also enjoyed volunteering at St. Luke’s hospital. Glenna loved playing golf, playing cards, and hanging out at the Maumee Senior Center with her husband and friends. Her best enjoyment came when she rooted for her children and grandchildren at all their sporting events and other special activities. She was an avid cheerleader, cheering on her Maumee Panthers, The OSU Buckeyes and the Cleveland Indians.

Glenna was preceded in death by her husband, Forey, her two brothers, Paul and Harold Jr Kopp; she was the last living of both sides of the family. It is a time to celebrate a special family legacy, especially knowing both Glenna’s mother and mother-in law were praying Christian women. Their prayers poured out onto Glenna and her family, especially her children Linda (Henry – deceased) Garn, Diane (Joe) Huber and David (Jill Kosch), her living grandchildren, Wendy Rooker, James Richardson, Clay Huber, Cory LoVellette, Tiffany Kosch, Kali Makula, and Branden Kosch, as well as her great grandchildren and many generations to come.

Visitation will take place at Maison-Dardenne Walker, Maumee, OH on Monday, October 23 from 3-6p. The funeral service will be held at St. Paul’s Lutheran church, Maumee, Tuesday, 10/24, with visitation from 10-11a, service at 11a, followed with graveside. Donations can be made to St. Paul’s women and/or men’s ministries, Hospice, or a ministry of your choice.

For those who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Glenna says “see ya later” in her eternity home of heaven. For those spending the other side of eternity without Christ, she sadly says “good-bye.” (But the good news is that it’s never too late to ask Jesus to come into your heart no matter your past. He totally loves you and is waiting for you to ask him into your life – GO FOR IT! John 3:16
