Glen Elliott
1930 – 2022
Glen was born in Medicine Hat on July 5th, 1930. He grew up on the family farm south of Whitla. In his early years he tried many different professions, but he came back to his passion of farming and ranching. Glen settled finally at the farm he still resided at the time of death south of Seven Persons. Glen didn’t have hobbies like most such as fishing or hunting but his hobby was the farm. Itching to get in the tractor come spring and to see that first calf hit the ground. His work ethic was second to none. As he got older when the weather was nice, he would always be puttering at something around the farm. Even at 90 years old he just could not stay out of the tractor, even if his boys tried to hide the tractor or the keys. This spring he was in the tractor seeding. Glen was part of the farm, and the farm was part of him. He bought the first purebred Red Angus cattle back in 1972 which he took great pride in from that moment. Glen was very involved in the 4-H program with all his children and three of his grandchildren. In 1972, he started sponsoring the Seven Persons Champion Steer Award and still does to this day. There were not many 4-H Achievement Days that were missed even when there were none of his children or grandchildren involved. He took great pride in the accomplishments of all his children and grandchildren. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 65 years, Verna; son, Stanley; daughter, Pam (Donny); son, Dale; son, Wayne (Roxanne); and son, Terry (Shirley); grandchildren, Shawn, Kim, Kyle (Joelle), Kurtis, Wyatt, Sydney (Colin), Jurnee (Steven), and Tate. Glen had one famous saying that stuck “The only job that you start at the top is digging a post hole.” Donations in Glen’s name can be made to 4-H Alberta or HALO.
The Family Thanks the Seven Persons Community for their support in their time of need.
