On November 10, 2020 Glenice Jean Irish (Grover) passed peacefully after her second battle with cancer. She was born in Old Town, Maine on January 16, 1948. Glenice was known as a sweet soul and a kind face to all who met her. Having grown up in Stafford, CT and raised her daughters in Willington, CT, she was a New England girl at heart. Glenice lived in Florida for over 15 years, where she made an everlasting friendship with her best friend Joanie.

Anyone who knew Glenice knew she was an avid football fan (Go Patriots!) and a lover of the Hallmark channel. One of her favorite family activities was going out to eat at local restaurants, with some of her favorite meals being patty melts and fish sandwiches. Excited to get the most out of each day, she was known as a speedy walker as she raced through each store leaving her family struggling to keep up. She found the most joy in the simple things in life, most notably listening to music and laughing with her family.

She is predeceased by her mother Anita Grover, father John Grover, and grandson Jared Griffin.

She leaves behind her loving daughters Kimberly Griffin and Pamela Murphy along with their spouses Michael Griffin and Timothy Murphy. She is also survived by her brother John Grover and his wife Alice, her sister Cathy Reinholz and her husband Bob, her granddaughter Megan Griffin, and her nieces and nephews.

"Always Loving, Always Loved"

A service for close family and friends will be planned at a later date.

Donations can be made in Glenice’s honor to METAvivor, to support others in their battle with metastatic breast cancer.
