The skies have gained a brighter gold star on March 31, 2021. Glenda Ann Jarrett was born January 3, 1939 in Pryor Ok. She has without a doubt lived a life that has graced all that have known her. Her countless stories that enthralled many of us, her profound love of History within her family and the world, and the amazing artist she became influenced by her Dutch grandmother, Margaret Stauffer.
She has grounded herself on many soils around the world embracing herself and culture on each adventure, seeing new faces and making fast friends everywhere. A well-loved and appreciated attribute to us all.
The list of her accomplishments are many. Her most treasured achievement was her son Mark. The apple of her eye, the sunshine of her heart and soul. She once told him that if he didn't get rid of his 1988 Dodge Dakota, she would have it bronzed and permanently installed in his front yard!
Ann would like you to know her work here on earth is done. Be mindful and kind to one another. Maintain your spirit. Love yourself and just take the time to Be…

I was employed by Jack and Ann after Jack's stroke in 1999. I drove Jack wherever he needed to go. I would also go on trips with them. One time we went to Santa Fe, NM. It was amazing. We went to dinner where the waiters and waitresses sang a musical after serving the guests and later to eat Tapas before I knew what that was. It was such a good time. One day Ann asked if I wanted to go shopping with her. I told her that I didn't have enough money. She said, "I didn't ask you if you had money to go shopping. I asked if you wanted to go shopping. I will take care of it." We had such a great time going in and out of little boutiques. That was the only time that I ever went shopping where I didn't have to worry about how much I spent for clothes. I asked how we would carry everything. She said that they just wrap it up and send it by mail. I was beside myself in awe. I didn't get to know Ann as well as I would've liked. I didn't know that she was from my hometown or that she had connections to the Netherlands where I had been an Au-pair. She and Jack sit in a very special place in my heart. I will never forget the kindness and the great times that we had.
