Glennice Jo Aaberg, was born on March 19, 1961, in Aurora, CO. Glennice was the cherished fifth child of eight born to Richard "Dick" and Ardis (Ward) Henry. Her early years were filled with the warmth of a large, loving family.

Glennice's journey took her to Mishicot, WI, where she completed her high school education in 1979. Her passion for learning and helping others led her to Bethany College in Mankato, where she earned an associate’s degree in education. It was this love for nurturing growth that would become a hallmark of her life.

On February 9, 1985, Glennice married the love of her life, Clayton Aaberg, in Beaumont, TX. Together, they built a life in Glenwood, MN, where they raised their three sons, Arthur, Ardell, and Arden. Glennice's home was always filled with laughter and love. She blessed her community for years with her good humor and hard work in retail and hospitality, and most recently was a dependable employee at the Grand Stay Hotel and Suites.
