Glenna Sue Brock

Glenna “Sue” Brock, 79, a longtime resident of the Elm Grove Community, entered heaven’s gates Thursday evening, June 5, 2014 in Tulsa. She was born on April 18, 1935 in Elm Grove, the first of 10 children, to Eugene Sallee and Opal Webb Sallee. Sue began working at Griffin Food Company at the age of 15 with her father. She was known for her commitment to work and was involved in creating some of the recipes Griffin Foods still uses today. Her working career lasted more than 50 years. She made many lifetime friends who she continued to stay in touch with. Sue fell in love with and later married Leon Brock on September 26, 1953 in Haskell, Oklahoma. They celebrated over 60 years together. They made their home on the family farm in Elm Grove. Her caring hands and feet were a sign of a hard working wife and mother who took great pride in making their house a home. You would always find a warm welcome, a home cooked meal and a homemade pie on the table. She loved nothing more than spending time with her family, especially her great grandchildren, whom she adored. Sue is remembered for her commitment to her Lord and Savior through her many years of service at Elm Grove Assembly of God Church. She served as a Sunday School teacher, booster band leader, choir member, as well as other roles in the church. She was so loved by all who knew her and will be truly be missed. Her legacy of being a wonderful Christian wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend will always be remembered.
