Tyhira Glenn

Tyhira Ilana Glenn (called Ty by all who knew and loved her), of Moorestown, New Jersey died unexpectedly at her residence on January 16, 2023. Born on August 26, 1986, to Cathy Jones Glenn and John Glenn in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, she attended public schools in Moorestown, New Jersey, the town she came to love, and graduated from Moorestown High School. A natural athlete, Ty participated in soccer leagues from an early age, her beloved (and directionally challenged) mother driving her up and down the east coast so she could play in tournaments and develop her formidable skills on the field. Their combined effort resulted in Ty becoming a world class soccer player and receiving several college scholarship offers. She ultimately chose Loyola College (now Loyola University). While her family is shocked and deeply saddened by her death, they are thankful for her life and immensely grateful for having been part of it. Ty was special to all who knew her. She was inquisitive, curious, honest, brave, full of life and laughter; everyone will remember how her face lit up when she smiled. One of those people born with an ‘old soul’ and possessing wisdom beyond her years, she was never afraid to take risks, ask big questions or speak her truth. Ty always found ways to make time to enjoy life’s simpler pleasures, like hanging out at home watching movies or listening to music, being in nature or spending time with her extensive network and community of family, friends, and colleagues. She was a light in all their lives with her uncanny ability to share the joy she found each day with those she loved. Ty is survived by her mother, Cathy Jones Glenn, father, John Glenn, brothers (and sisters-in-law), Jamil Glenn (Daisha) and Malik Glenn (Lauren), nieces and nephews, Hunter Glenn, Diora ‘D’ Glenn, Aliana ‘Allie’ Glenn, Isaiah ‘Zay’ Glenn, Sophia Glenn, Mya Glenn, uncles Ivory Thomas Jones and Mark Anthony Jones, aunts (and uncles-in-law) Linda Mitchell (William), Mina Mitchum (Clarence), Trisha Glenn, Aunt Niecy, and her wide circle of loved ones including aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
