Has anyone heard from Glennis Dunn since Hurricane Ike made landfall?



Glennis Dunn, a Crystal Beach resident, has not been heard from since Friday before Hurricane Ike made landfall. Her children and grandchildren are very concerned and are trying various means to locate their mom and grandmom.

As we talk to various friends and neighbors from the Peninsula, mention her name and show the photographs her family has provided in a sincere effort to try to help the family.

According to Glennis' son, Bill, she was last seen on Thursday, Sept. 11 by her neighbor James. Family members spoke with her by phone on Friday morning until the telephone died. She was still in her home at this time.

"Mom was aware of the storm and planned to leave on Friday morning. Unfortunately, at that point," Bill said, "it was too late for her to leave on her own. The wind and water had started to rise."

Glennis has six children and 16 grandchildren.

She was retired and a home-maker; as well as having been a single mom, a private pilot, and an US Air Force captain's wife. For the past 10 years, she was retired and loving living in Crystal Beach with her dog, Jacque. I'm sending another picture of her favorite pastime...hope it helps to jog someone's memory about what may have happened to our loved one.

If you have any information about Glennis Dunn, please email brendacannonhenley@yahoo.com. I will pass on any information I receive directly to her family.

Hi! Thank You! From Glennis Dunn's daughter, for showing Mom's picture, and searching for her. I am sorry you have to deal with the insurance on top of the devastation you must be feeling.
Take Care,
