TIFFANY, GLENNA RUTH
An Arizona native, Glenna joined her loving husband of 51 years, Herb in Heaven on November 16, 2016, after passing away peacefully in her sleep. Glenna was born on December 17th, 1939, to Oliver and Vesta Smith in Chandler, Az. Glenna attended Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary, West High, and Phoenix College. She was a long time parishioner of St. Thomas the Apostle Church. Glenna was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. For a number of years, she worked alongside her husband Herb and her children at Tiffany Construction Company.
She is survived by her children Herb III (Joanne), Jill Shiraishi (Shaun), John (Pamela), Cathy Comeau (Erich), Sam (Catherine), Amy Marshall (Jeff), her sister Bev Hagenson, sisters-in-law Ginny Sweeney, Monnie Calfee (Martin), Jane Duffy and brother-in-law Mike (Patsy).

My warmest condolences to the Tiffany family, I am very sorry for your loss.
The Brown family would like to extend their prayers to the Tiffany family. Growing up with Sam and spending countless days at the Tiffany household, and always being welcome by Herb and Glenna, brings back so many good memories. I know our parents are all together now and laughing about the trouble we got in as youth.
To all of Sam’s siblings, know that your mother was a fantastic woman, and I feel blessed to have shared many good memories with my children of all the good times I had.
I will miss my closet friend of sixty years. We have been through good times and bad. We would argue and we would laugh together. Of course we had plenty of wonderful dinners as I would pick he up and take her to one of the best places in Phoenix. Her favorite was Chris Bianco’s for Italian and Ruth Chris for a steak. She loved me unconditionally as she did everyone close to her. Now she is with the love of her life and I am sure loving the freedom from being sick. I will miss you Glenna Ruth.
The Musselman family sends our condolences to the Tiffany family. Over the many years we watched multiple sports events, fund raising and just plain fun together. I remember a specific time I met Glenna in the breezeway at STA. She asked what I was there for and said Sr Mary Louise wanted to see me about Bobby and she said “oh great, I’m here for Sam” They had done something, again. But we loved them anyway. Great friends, loyal to a fault, spiritual, and just great people. To her kids..you had a great mom and dad and we were blessed to have called them friends.
The John Kennedy family sends our heartfelt condolences to the Tiffany Family. Glenna was the sweetest lady – always with a smile and kind words for us.
Sending my condolences to the whole Tiffany family. My prayers are with all of you.
