Glenna D. Borggren, 96, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 3, 1928 in Plymouth to George Dewey and Bertha (Singleton) Shafer.

Glenna was a graduate of Plymouth High School in the Class of 1946. She was united in marriage with Raymond Borggren on June 14, 1952. They would celebrate 58 years of marriage before Ray preceded her in death on November 3, 2010.

Glenna was a faithful member of the Evangelical Covenant Church in Donaldson. Throughout the years, she was an active member in several groups at the church including Friendship Class and Covenant Women.
