Glyn W. Austin

October 10, 1924 - September 19, 2018

Glyn Walter Austin has entered into eternal rest with his Lord.

Glyn was born in Gentry, Arkansas to Fred and Annis (Walker) Austin on Oct 10, 1924.  He enlisted in the Navy in 1943 but was medically discharged a few months later for color blindness.

He married Myrtle Lois Harrison on Dec. 9, 1950.  They had 3 children, Carol, Darrell and Pamela.

Glyn was baptized into the Lord’s church in the 1950’s and remained a faithful Christian for the rest of his life.  He served as a deacon and elder at the Spring and Delta Church of Christ in Long Beach, CA.

Glyn and Lois retired to Hemet, CA and lived there for many years before moving to Laguna Hills, CA to be closer to their daughter.

Glyn loved the simple things in life.  He loved his family..  He loved his granddaughters.  But most of all he loved his Lord.  Even when dementia had robbed him of much of his memory, he would still sing and pray to the Lord.

He will be greatly missed by his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Curtis Austin and his sister, Carmen Buell.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, his daughter Carol (Robbie) Stewart, his son, Darrell (Mary) Austin and his youngest daughter, Pamela (Paul) Williams.  He is survived by his grandchildren. Lauryn (Christopher) Pogue, Kendra (Delon) Anderson and Ariana Williams
