Josie Estella Glanville was born February 24, 1913 in Wichita County, Kansas and passed away November 6, 2016 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Josie was the 8th of 10 children born to James and Estella Wilson. Josie grew up on a farm where she learned strong work ethics. Josie grew up in a time when you had to walk two miles to school or if weather was bad enough you would go on the horse and buggy. In 1933 Josie was married to her childhood friend and neighbor growing up, Henry Burns. Together the couple had two children, Thomas and Betty. Josie spent much of her life working hard on the farm; she drove the tractors, worked the fields and gardens and always canned her own food. After several years on the farm, the couple moved their family to California where Josie would become a teacher. Josie was so dedicated to teaching that she went back to school at Long Beach State College where she received her Bachelor's Degree. Josie taught school for over 18 years in California before she moved back to Oklahoma. After Henry passed away she later married Johnny Glanville, they enjoyed each others company for several years. Josie played music on the piano, mandolin, guitar and a musical saw. Josie was such a hard working lady that she even planned on opening her own home based business when she turned 90. Those closest to Josie will always remember her for her strong work ethics, determination with any en-devour she perused. Josie will be dearly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

Southern Arizona was the start of a new chapter for Gwen and Jim. She worked various jobs in Nogales, Arizona, and in 1981 gave birth to Jill Denise Glanville. Shortly after, Brian James Glanville was born in 1983 to rain on Jill’s parade and help absorb the wealth of love and family. In 1987, Jill and Brian’s attention would be absorbed by baby Eric Patrick. Gwen was an incredible mother to her children and always was willing to volunteer for any of their many extracurricular activities, from coaching a soccer team to helping facilitate the community summer programs.
Gwen was surrounded by incredible friends that helped her and Jim juggle hectic schedules, as Jim and Gwen were always willing to help their friends out too, this made for an incredible environment to raise their kids in.
Gwen built many great friendships through the many activities she enjoyed from diligent crafting, to play groups, shopping and socializing when she had the time. With a large group of friends that continually kept in touch with her from past jobs to her most recent at Hallmark, she got to see so many of her great friends on a regular basis and be her vibrant social butterfly self. Know that her love for every single one of you reading this is everlasting.
Gwen is survived by her husband Jim; children Jill & Jon, Brian, Eric; and granddaughter, Hannah Belle.
In these difficult moments life brings, often we cannot find the words to express our immense gratitude and appreciation of every person who knew Gwen. On behalf of the Glanville Family, remember how much each and every one of you meant to her. She is watching over all of us, casting rays of sunshine, hope, love and great joy, forever and always.
