Glenney, Florence E.

Ms. Florence Elizabeth Glenney (Betty), 66, of Berlin, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Everett and Naomi (Mackenzie) Glenney, went home to be with her Lord on Friday, January 7, 2022. She was born January 23, 1955 and was a graduate of Penny High School in East Hartford. She went on to study at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. She graduated with a degree in special education and became a teacher in Windsor. Betty also worked for a group home for many years, caring for the residents with compassion and love.

Betty was born again on July 20, 1969 when she trusted Christ for forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation. She was a faithful member of the Newington Gospel Hall Assembly (formerly the Charter Oak Gospel Hall) and demonstrated a vibrant faith and love for her Lord throughout her life.

She is survived by her brother Irvin Glenney and sister, Suzanne (Glenney) Chapman and their families. She was predeceased by her sister, Barbara (Glenney) Vintinner. Betty spoke often of her many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews who she loved very much. She was affectionately known to all of her Gospel Hall family as Bett and to the many ‘nieces’ and ‘nephews’ she adopted there as Auntie Betty. She was a fantastic cook who loved to have people in her home. She was a prayer warrior, encourager, and giver whose humor and tender heart will be greatly missed until we meet again.

A funeral service will be held on Thursday (January 13, 2022) at 11 AM at the Rose Hill Funeral Home, 580 Elm St. Rocky Hill. Family and friends are invited to call from 10 to 11 AM at the funeral home just prior to the service.
