GLENN KEY
Wortham Glenn Key, 80, of Albany, passed away Saturday, Feb. 2, 2019 at Lyndale Senior Living in Abilene, Texas.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, Feb. 5 at Matthews Memorial Presbyterian Church with Rev. Anthony Ceder officiating. Interment followed in the Albany Cemetery under the direction of Morehart Mortuary.
He was the fifth of seven children born to Delmon Wortham and Letha Bell Key. He was born on Oct. 13, 1938 in Throckmorton, Texas.
Following graduation from Throckmorton High School, Glenn worked in the oil field and farmed.
He served on the Albany school board for 20 years, was a part of the Shackelford County Masonic Lodge, and participated in the Fandangle.
Whether you met Glenn for just a moment or knew him a lifetime, you were struck by his generosity, loyalty, and commitment to his family, friends, and student athletes who he enjoyed watching participate in any sport, be it girls, boys, junior high or high school.
Twice, Glenn and brother Bobby were presented the fan award at the Albany sports banquet. He seldom missed a game of any kind and was actually looking forward to attending basketball games this week to watch his grandson, Joshua Dyer, play.
Glenn was preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Linda Rankin Key; second wife, Janis King Key; son, Glenn Rankin Key; stepdaughter, Kim Sipe; and sister, Francis Greenway.
He is survived by one daughter, Letha Powell Senkyrik and husband Dan of Rosharon; one son, Dan Key and wife Karen of Albany; one step-daughter, Sally Dyer and husband Trey of Baird; seven grandchildren, Diehlan Key, Sydney Key, Matthew Key, Jonathan Key, Abigail Key, Joshua Dyer, Kelsey Sipe Strickland; two great grandchildren, Clara and Fionn; three sisters, Joyce Estridge of Tyler, Joanne Farr of Haskell, Beth Larned and husband Jerry of Abilene; two brothers, Bobby Key and wife Patsy of Albany, Bill Key of Green Valley, Arizona; and numerous beloved nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers were Joshua Dyer, Diehlan Key, Dale Riley, John Riley, Tommy Brown, Randall Palmore, and Lance Thomas. Honorary pallbearers were the athletes of Albany High School.
