Annie Glenn has died

Question

Anna Margaret Castor Glenn (wife of astronaut/Sentator John Glenn) died today of complications from COVID-19. She was 100 years old.  Her profile exists and will need to be opened. (But WikiTree doesn't appear to be working for me at the moment, so I can't do any further checking.)

Looks like it's open now.

Which I would have seen had I read down to Dale's answer...

Thanks, Scott. Have added the Category (United States, Philanthropists).

Answer 1

I admire Annie for being so outspoken about her stuttering/stammering at a time when that problem was not often talked about. Flash-forward to now, and we have an Academy Award movie about a King who stuttered, and presidential candidate who has learned to control his stutter.  Thanks to the pioneers.

Answer 2

I found out about her death about 3 hours after it happened and did a bit of updating to her profile but I did open it up, it is open now.

Answer 3

So sad.  Annie did so much throughout her long life as an advocate for people with communication disorders and other disabilities.  Thanks for sharing the news, Natalie.

Why isn't there a Category for Humanitarians?

I believe there's one for Philanthropists. Not quite the same, but in her case, it does apply.
