Glen Edward Wodetzki

May 11, 1934 – August 19, 2017

Glen Edward Wodetzki, age 83, passed away August 19, 2017 in Redlands, California. Born May 11, 1934 in Danville, IL, Glen was the son of Lewis E. and Evelyn G. (Six) Wodetzki. According to his mother, he suffered scarlet fever as an infant which affected his development, and she assured members of Glen’s family that he would not live beyond his early 20s. However, none of this deprived Glen of the ability to work. He maintained his own newspaper route as a teenager and worked for his father at Ideal Alarm Company for a number of years. After the death of his father in 1967, Glen moved to California with his mother in 1970, and he remained in California the remainder of his life. After his mother died in 1978, Glen moved into a group home where he remained until a few months before his death. He worked regularly until he was no longer able, and he was always an active member of his group home community. He was often the supervisor of his housemates on outings and always helped to maintain order around the house. He will be missed by all who knew him. In addition to his parents, Glen survived his brother Lewis and his sister Dorothy Rebenstorf. He is survived by his brother Richard Wodetzki of Sebring, FL, sister Joan Brittingham of Loma Linda, CA, sister Louise Cochran of Sun City Center, FL, eighteen (18) nieces and nephews, and many great nieces, nephews and cousins. Glen is interred alongside his parents at Greenwood Cemetery in Danville, IL.
