Connie Irene Glenn

Connie Irene Glenn, known lovingly as "Lala" to her grandchildren, passed away on March 5, 2026, in Monroe, Georgia, at the age of 67.

Born on May 6, 1958, in Dallas, Texas, to the late Shirley (Hawkins) Glenn and James Glenn, Connie lived a life defined by fierce love, boundless generosity, and a humor that could light up any room. To meet her was to love her, and she was loved by so many. She was preceded in death by her brothers, James and John Glenn, her devoted husband, David Waits, Jr., and her beloved pets, Lily and Bob.

Connie dedicated many years to working at her local community Senior Center, where she found deep joy in serving others and building meaningful relationships. She took great pride in giving back to her community and cherished the friendships she formed there. Above all, she loved her family and friends deeply. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she took immense pride in being their Lala.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Kimberly Rutledge and Jimmy Ney; her cherished grandchildren, Tristan Rutledge, Alaina Ney, and Aeson Ney; her sister and brother-in-law, Lois and Mike O'Connor; her sister-in-law, Susan Glenn; her nieces Jennifer O'Connor, Rebecca O'Connor, Amber Moore, Megan Glenn, and Summer Hardy; her nephews Jason O'Connor and James Glenn; and numerous other family members and friends. The love she gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
