Glenn E. Blue

Glenn E. Blue, 94, of Soap Lake, Washington, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 15, 2026, at his home after several years of declining health. The son of Glenn H. and Olidel Blue, he was born on Feb. 11, 1932, in Jackson Township, Union County, Ohio. Glenn lived a life of service and family dedication. 

A 1949 graduate of Richwood High School, Glenn joined the United States Marines soon after graduation. Glenn met his wife Charlotte Fleisher while stationed in California, and they were married on Jan. 8, 1953, while Glenn was serving in the Marines. He served 3 1/2 years in the Marine Corps before receiving an honorable discharge as a staff sergeant.

Glenn was employed by the Capital Finance Corporation of Columbus, Ohio and spent several years at various offices in the central Ohio area before being transferred out to Oregon. He was then promoted to the position of division manager in Omak, Washington and ended up spending the rest of his years in Soap Lake, Washington.

Glenn had a love of horses, especially Appaloosa horses, and he raised and trained many throughout his life. He was a person who could fix anything and enjoyed restoring, reupholstering, and repairing cars and trucks, especially Volkswagens.

Family was the center of Glenn’s life and he took joy in spending time with his wife, his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his wife of 73 ½ years Charlotte; his children Mike Blue, Bill (Christy) Blue and Kathy (Mark) Enfield; his grandchildren Michele, Jacob, Cody, Cheri, Casey, Quinton, Preston, and Monae; 11 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; his two sisters Rebecca Blue and Charlene Conrad; and numerous nieces and nephews.
