Jimmie Carol Hyatt Glenn
Jimmie Carol Hyatt Glenn, 89, of Canyon, passed away just before dawn on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Memorial services will be at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at First Baptist Church of Canyon with Trey Glenn, Jimmie’s grandson, officiating. Private family interment will be in Memory Gardens Cemetery Saturday morning.
Jimmie was born on May 31, 1936 in Dimmitt, Texas to Homer “Zeke” and Jennie (Wright) Hyatt. Jimmie and her two younger brothers spent most of their childhood years in Dimmitt with a few early years in Amarillo. In both towns, her father owned and operated “Fillin’ Stations” and her mother worked as a telephone operator. Jimmie’s parents both worked long, hard hours to make a living while raising three children. Her father often worked 7 days a week while her mother, when given a rare opportunity to get away from the switchboard, cooked family meals and made most of the clothes that her children wore to school.
Jimmie, in typical first-born fashion, was naturally a get-it-done, responsible young lady. Early on, she found herself with hardworking parents who could not always take her to church, so she somehow found her way to Sunday School and church on her own as a youngster while living in Amarillo. Soon, a keenly aware woman from church offered and began giving Jimmie rides to and from church. Soon after, Jimmie dedicated her life to Christ and ensured her two younger brothers attended church with her every Sunday.
After the family returned to Dimmitt, Jimmie began excelling in everything she chose to participate in (all the while, she joined her mother working the switchboard as an employee at the local telephone company) academics, cheerleading, you name it, she was leading the way. She became the best roller skater in the entire area. So much so, she was invited to be a part of a professional Roller Derby League. However, she was forced to decline the offer as her high school basketball coach frowned upon it. Basketball was big in Dimmitt and in Texas, of course, and Jimmie was a 2-year starter for The Bobbies. During her junior and senior years, they won back-to-back girls’ basketball Texas state championships.
Jimmie graduated from Dimmitt High School in 1955. Despite saying goodbye to high school, she kept her eye on her high school sweetheart Clinton Glenn. They continued dating and soon began talking marriage. Jimmie, as crazy as she was about Clinton, knew in her heart that God wanted her to marry an equally yoked, Christian life partner and she was very transparent to Clinton about it as she shared her faith with him. Within the first year out of high school, Clinton told her he was ready to accept Jesus as his Savior as God had used Jimmie to lead Clinton to Christ.
The two married in Dimmitt on April Fool’s Day, Sunday, April 1, 1956. It was also Easter Sunday. They were married a remarkable 67 years. Jimmie quickly became a supportive wife of a farmer living near Hereford, Texas. It was there where they had their three children - Brenda (1957), Cheri (1959) and Ross (1962).
In 1963, Clinton and Jimmie moved their young family to Randall County. They built a new brick home along FM 2219 near two sections of land that Clinton had leased to farm. It was just a few years later that they joined FBC Canyon.
While juggling the home cooked meals, grocery shopping and laundry, Jimmie made sure her kids were able to participate in school and many extra-curricular activities. More than anything, she volunteered as a children’s and youth ministry leader at First Baptist Church of Canyon alongside all 3 kids, namely with Acteens and G.A.’s.
Jimmie had exceptional taste and vision when it came to design. She actually drew the plans for the “in town” home they built in 1974. She decorated the country French house herself. From the day they moved in this house, it was the only home Clinton and Jimmie lived in until the Lord called them to His own. This house, this home, is more than special to all of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jimmie loved decorating so much that she received the designation as an Interior Decorator and for many years owned and operated her own business making homes in many Panhandle counties beautiful. She also loved fashion as a Color Me Beautiful consultant helping make women more beautiful and confident with color and makeup.
Another of Jimmie’s loves was playing bridge. She was a sharp and competitive bridge player for nearly 70 years. Her bridge playing was highlighted by playing most of those years with Clinton and, over the last couple of decades, playing with two different women’s clubs. She loved “the girls” she gathered with on a monthly basis to play bridge.
For many years, her grandchildren had no bigger fan than their Gigi. Whether it was performing on stage or participating on the field or court, she’d be front and center. As far as Gigi was concerned, her grandchildren could do no wrong …. they were the best in anything they were part of. That was evident each Christmas where she’d spoil her kids and other family members.
Jimmie is preceded in death by her parents, Homer “Zeke” and Jennie Hyatt, her sister, Dorothy Jack Hyatt, brothers, Berle Hyatt and Jerry Hyatt, her husband of 67 years, Clinton Glenn, her daughter, Cheri Reinert, and son-in-law, Ron Reinert.
She is survived by her daughter, Brenda Rusten and husband, Johnny of Lubbock; her son, Ross Glenn and wife, Stacy of Canyon; her grandchildren, Lissabeth Anglin and husband, Shawn, Landon Reinbold, Lauren Rusten, Mason Reinbold and wife, Brittany, Layne Cooper and husband, Justin, Trey Glenn and wife, Katie, Trevor Glenn and wife, Bethany, and Taryn Glenn; her great grandchildren, Knox Anglin, Liv Anglin, Hunter Reinbold, Lucy Anglin, Hayden Kate Cooper, Blair Reinbold, Nolan Cooper, Myles Reinbold, Charlotte Glenn, Crosby Cooper, Mia Glenn, and Henry Clinton Glenn.
