Cheyenne Taylor Glenn
August 13, 2013
Cheyenne Glenn, age 17, of Jay was taken away suddenly from results of an ATV accident on August 8, 2013. Cheyenne was a happy girl who always brightened up a room. She was full of love and very affectionate. She loved the outdoors, shopping, being with her family and all of the little ones she helped take care of like her nieces, nephews, and some that weren’t family, but she had spent so much time with them and treated them like they were her family. She was her mother’s glue and rock for their family.
At the age of 17, she still wanted mom to hold her and she did it every day. Cheyenne loved and lived the outdoors and was a country girl at heart taken away too soon.
She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Mike Germany; great-grandmother, Rita Hagesteded and uncle, Robby Ashcraft.
She is survived by her mom, Cynthia Forbes and stepfather, Tim Bauldree; father, Don Glenn Jr.; sisters, Nicole Forbes and Ashley Bauldree; grandparents, Mae Forbes, Ray J. Hammack, and Don and Laura Glenn; aunts, Amanda Kay Ashcraft and Heather Brown; uncle, Timmy Hammack; cousins, Felicia Ashcraft, Misti Ashcraft, Randall Ashcraft, and Blake and Dylan Brown; niece, Kayleigh Forbes; nephews, Jaden and Hunter Simmons and a special little girl Jadynn Dannelley who was in the accident with her.
Cheyenne will truly be missed by all that knew and loved her. The family would like to thank everyone for all their support, love, donations, food, calls, prayers, and everything else that they have shown my family during this difficult time and a special thank you to Crystal Ladner for being her rock during this time.
