02/20/2022 - Twin Falls, Idaho, USA

Our angel, Carla Marie Glenn, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on February 20, 2022.

Carla was born in Twin Falls, Idaho on May 13, 1962, to Gene Glenn and Ruth Bilbao. She was the heart and soul of her family and was deeply loved by everyone, but no one more than her sisters, Julie Ann and Jeannine.

Carla always lived her life to the fullest and taught us how to love unconditionally. With the support of Sister Monique, she attended St. Edward's Catholic school and went on to graduate from Twin Falls High School. She was active in gymnastics and in 1983 was invited to attend the International Special Olympics, where she won a silver medal. For 20 years, Carla worked as a daycare assistant helping with the babies at Kalico Kids. After retirement, Carla spent her winters in Kona, Hawaii with her parents, Ruth and Gene, whom she loved very much.

Carla was the happiest being with her family and many friends. She enjoyed hula and jota dancing to Hawaiian and Basque music, driving the golf cart on excursions with her parents and later on during her visits to Arizona, and traveling to many places. Her travels included both international and statewide destinations. Carla could be found with a smile on her face cruising down Blue Lakes with the music up and the windows down, attending the Twin Falls summer band concerts, and going for a passion fruit iced tea. Carla loved to sit on the lanai in Hawaii with a cocktail in her hand and enjoy the beautiful sunset.

She will be deeply missed by those who love her. Everyone has a special memory of their precious time with Carla. She is survived by her sisters Julie Ann Wildman (Bob), Jeannine Berriochoa (Randy), nephew and nieces Wesly, Amaya (Thomas), Kattalina, and Kristiana, and her great-niece and nephew Soloa and Maceo.

Services will include a rosary on Friday, February 25th at 7 PM at Parke's Funeral Home and a funeral mass will be offered at St. Edwards Catholic Church by Father Julio Vicente and Prior Boniface Lautz at 11 AM on Saturday, February 26th. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Park. Carla's family would like to extend a special thank you for the compassionate care provided by Hospice Visions.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Carla's name to the Gooding Basque Association (P.O. Box 517, Gooding, ID 83330), Hospice Visions (455 Parkview Loop E, Twin Falls, ID 83301), The Arc of Idaho (4402 Albion St, Boise, ID 83705) and La Posada Ministries (355 4th Ave W, Twin Falls, ID 83301).
