Nancy Lou (Thiele) Glass
Aug 21, 1927 – Jun 30, 2010
Nancy Lou Thiele Glass, 82, of Corsicana went to be with the Lord on
Wednesday, June 30, 2010, after a long and brave 10-year battle with
three different cancers. After a family graveside service at
Dresden
Cemetery, Nancy will be remembered in a memorial service, led by Dr.
Gary Johnson and assisted by the Rev. Ed Monk, at 11 a.m. Saturday,
July 3, at Calvary Worship Center. Her family suggests that Nancy
would be honored if any of her many friends and family members wish
to remember her with a gift to The Hope Center, 508 N. Main St.,
Corsicana, TX 75110 — a ministry to assist unwed mothers — in lieu
of flowers.
Nancy was born Aug. 21, 1927, the second of four children born to
her parents, Robert E. and Mildred Z. Thiele, in Glen Ellyn, Ill.
She graduated from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and enjoyed a
career spanning more than 25 years as a violinist with the Dallas
Symphony Orchestra. Married to Michael Glass in 1951, who was also a
member of the Dallas Symphony, Nancy played a dual role, as she was
also a loving mother to her four children: Timothy Michael, Jonathan
Robert, Jennifer Lynn and Megan Elizabeth.
After she retired from the symphony, Nancy embarked on an even
longer second career as both a violin teacher and music director for
children's worship at St. Michael's and All Angels Church in Dallas,
Church of the Epiphany in Richardson, and St. John's Episcopal
Church in Corsicana, among others. She also composed many children's
worship songs and directed countless children's pageants and
productions over the years, which brought joy to generations of
North Texas children. In her later years, she gained notoriety as
one of The Four Nancys — a favorite Corsicana classical performing
arts group.
But Nancy is perhaps best remembered for her devotion to the Lord
and her Savior, Jesus Christ, which shone through in her favorite
role — that of beloved grandma to her 13 grandchildren, for it is in
this role that her loving care and biblical wisdom will stand as a
lasting testimony.
Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, Robert E. and Mildred Z.
Thiele; her brothers, Robert Thiele and Richard Thiele; and her
former husband, Michael Glass.
She is survived by her sister, Gretchen Lane of Elgin, Ill.; her
children, Timothy M. Glass and his wife Rimma of Corsicana, Jonathan
R. Glass and his wife Toula of Corsicana, Dr. Jennifer L. Glass of
Iowa City, Iowa, and Megan E. Hoyt and her husband Steven of
Charlotte, N.C.; daughter-in-law, Evelyn Glass of Corsicana; her
grandchildren, Sarah Jackson and her husband Garrett, Tommy Glass,
Michael Glass and Robby Glass, Erin Martin and her husband Todd,
Sean Glass and his wife Mairead and Casey Glass, Caitlin Juetten and
Annika Glass, Hannah, Hilary, Drew and Jesse Hoyt; and her
great-grandchildren, Spencer, Lukas and Corbett Jackson, Anthony
Gabriel Hoyt, and one more on the way at the time of her passing, as
well as numerous beloved nephews and nieces.

respect to the deceased the First National Bank and the Citizen's
State Bank were closed Monday and Tuesday.
The remains were shipped to Italy Monday afternoon where they were

Frost, where they lay in state at the home of Mrs. J. A. Ledford,
daughter of the deceased until Tuesday afternoon. The funeral
