Glen was born in Taber on December 31, 1918, the oldest son of Wilford Henry Grant and Harriet Longden. He married Leola Fay Conrad on September 9, 1942. They lived on their farm south of Taber and they raised three sons as well as many different crops and livestock. Fay passed away in 1996 and on April 19, 2003, he married Lois Kathleen Hunt. They continued to reside on the family farm until February 1, 2012, when they moved into Taber.
Glen spent his life in the Taber area, except for a few months spent in California where he helped his uncle Johnny Longden with the horses. He returned to marry Fay and settle down on the farm three miles south of Taber.
Glen enjoyed being outside – farming, gardening and caring for livestock. He also enjoyed reading. Glen memorized many poems as a young man and remembered them well into his later years. He was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all his life, serving in many different positions and is remembered for his speaking abilities. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were very special to him, even in his later years when his memory was starting to decline, he always wanted to know about them.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Glen’s name may be made directly to a charitable organization of one’s choice.
