GLEN LaVERN DOE was born June 25, 1924 at his home in Havelock, ND to Tom and Lillian (Hovland) Doe. He was the seventh of fourteen children, 5 boys and 9 girls. Glen attended Tee Pee Butte School near his home.


On May 22, 1943, Glen was united in marriage to his childhood sweetheart and neighbor, Pauline Lutz at the Tee Pee Butte Church in Havelock. To this union, five children were born. Glen and Pauline were also privileged to have Darlys Doe, a niece and Tom Doe, a nephew join their family in 1966.


Glen and Pauline farmed on year in Havelock before moving to Reeder, ND in May of 1944 where they raised their family while making their loving by farming and ranching.


After retiring from farming in 1989, Glen kept active by helping his son, Russell, with various farming activities until suffering a major stroke in August of 2001. In December of 2007, Glen and Pauline moved off the farm after 63 years, to Hettinger, ND.


The last eight years of his life have revealed Glen's great strength and determination as he fought hard to overcome the many health issues placed in his life's path. Glen loved playing cards, especially pinochle. 1000's of games were played with Bennie and Donelda Oberlander. Glen also loved to play practical jokes and April Fool's Day was his day.


Glen loved to go to the State Fair in Huron, SD and take day trips to Deadwood and drive around the community. Just the simple pleasure of helping neighbors in need or sharing a cup of coffee brought joy to his heart. One special joy was that of giving each great grandson a black cowboy hat.


Glen went to be with his Savior and Lord on Saturday at the West River Regional Medical Center in Hettinger.
