Shirlie R. (Sevier) Glancy

Shirlie R. Glancy, 86, of Silvis, formerly of Milan, was born March 29, 1934 in Bevier, Mo., the youngest of the four children of Everett and Pearl (Boone) Sevier. Following graduation from Bevier High School in 1952, and Quincy College of Cosmetology in 1953, Shirlie married her lifetime love, Donald Glancy, on December 22, 1953. The couple was rarely separated for more than a day for 66 years and lived most of their married life in Milan.

Shirlie worked for the Magic Wand Beauty Salon as a hair stylist and also worked for Scotts Department Store in Rock Island where she was in charge of the fabrics department. An accomplished artist, Shirlie delighted friends and family with the wonderful hand-drawn cards they would receive. She was an active member of the Milan Presbyterian Church, where she was part of Mariners Club and Cover Girls. Shirlie took great pleasure in serving her church with her talents. When she wasn’t drawing, she also found pleasure reading, gardening and spending time with friends and family.
