Ethan Malone Glenn’s friend wrote a tribute,
Tell City lost one of its most valued members. Heather Glenn, is a daughter, and a sister to the community. A 20-year veteran of the Police Department. She would give the jacket off her back if it meant keeping another person warm and getting nothing in return. A friend of mine and my family for 15 years and to others more. There aren’t words to express the hole that has been left. We love you, Heather.
