Glynn Tolleson

Glynn Tolleson, 89, of Crossett, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 3, 2024. He was born on April 19, 1935, in Florence, Arkansas, was a longtime resident of Crossett, and served honorably in the United States Army.

Glynn was an active member of South Crossett Missionary Baptist Church, where his faith and fellowship were integral parts of his life.

For thirty-five years, Glynn worked at the Georgia Pacific Papermill, where his hard work and strong work ethic left a lasting legacy. Outside of work, he enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, often found tending to his vegetable and flower gardens or taking walks. Known for taking great pride in his home and possessions, Glynn’s meticulous care extended to his family’s shoes, which he always kept polished to perfection.

He was a man with a big heart, who had a soft spot for animals, a true testament to his gentle and compassionate nature.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Alvin Z. and Myrtle Miller Tolleson; one brother, Lynn Tolleson; and three sisters, Dell Condry, Wilda Hunthrop, and Ruby Wabble.
