Debbie Glass, 68, a resident of Russellville passed away Monday, July 29, 2024 at Russellville Nursing Center.
She was born March 30, 1956 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to the late Herschel Thomas ''Jake'' and Millie ''Louise'' (Dobbs) Arney. Debbie will be remembered in many ways, one being her work ethic. Over the years she has worked in various roles in the manufacturing industry, most recently with Conagra Foods in Russellville for over 16 years. Wherever she was employed and in whatever role, Debbie was always known for her hard work ethic. Her family attributes much of her devotion to work being her commitment and care for her family. In addition to her career and love for her family, Debbie also enjoyed the Arkansas scenery, specifically spending time at Dardanelle State Park and her four-legged bestie, a Corgi named Mister. Debbie will be remembered for her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, her Savior. One way she expressed her faith was by attending the First Assembly of God in Russellville.
In addition to her parents, Debbie was preceded in death by a sister, June Ann Drake.
