In Loving Memory of

The Reverend Glen R. Hueholt
Born into life November 2, 1926
Called to eternal life May 26, 2024

The Reverend Glen R. Hueholt, age 97, died at home in Westerville, Ohio surrounded by family on May 26, 2024. He formerly resided in Berwick, Pa. Glen was born on November 2, 1926, in Burlington, Iowa to the late Charles and Mabel (Peterson) Hueholt. Glen was a graduate of Mt. Pleasant High School (Iowa); Findlay College; Winebrenner Theological Seminary; and Pittsburgh Zenia Theological Seminary (M.Div.). He also attended Oberlin College Seminary and completed clinical training leading to certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a Chaplain and Clinical Chaplaincy Supervisor.

After losing his own father at the age of ten, Glen realized how the Love of God is manifested through local ministry. Glen dedicated his life to this ministry, being ordained first by the Iowa Eldership of the Churches of God (Iowa, 1945); licensed by the West Ohio Conference of the Methodist Church (1948); and ordained by the Conemaugh Presbytery, United Presbyterian Church (Bolivar, PA, 1952). His ordination vows to the Presbyterian Church were renewed after 60 years in 2012. Glen faithfully served churches for over 70 years and his pastorates were follows: Northview Methodist Church, Ohio (1945-47); Grand Rapids, Mt. Pleasant, and Penny
Methodist Churches, Ohio (1948-51); Scotch Ridge University Presbyterian Church, Ohio (1951); Bolivar and Bethel United Presbyterian Churches, Pa. (1952-55); Reedurban United
Presbyterian Church, Ohio (1955-61); First United Presbyterian Church Gallipolis, Ohio (1961-1973); First United Presbyterian Church Bloomsburg, Pa. (1973-80); First Presbyterian Church
of Weatherly (1980-2020); Mahanoy City Presbyterian Church, Pa. (1992-99); and Freeland United Presbyterian Church, Pa. (2005-2020). He was a chaplain for Gallipolis State Institute, Muncy Correctional Center, and Selinsgrove Center. Glen was the Chaplaincy Program Director for White Haven Center (Pa.) from 1980 to 1982. During his tenure, Faith Chapel was created at
the Center.

Throughout his career, Glen was active as a member/officer in local ministerial, Synod, and Presbytery committees. He had a special interest in mental health and disability services and served as organizing president of the Gallia County, Ohio Mental Health Mental Retardation Association and Guiding Hand School for children with disabilities. He enjoyed camping, traveling, visiting historical places, gardening, and carpentry. He conducted tours of Israel with inter-faith groups. A highlight of his travels was a tour to the Passion Play in Germany. A rural farm boy at heart, Glen collected small tractors, farm equipment, and cars.
In 1949, Glen married Lois Webber, his life-long love and faithful supporter of his ministry. Their marriage spanned 65 years until her death in 2015. A son, James, and brother, LaVerne, also
predeceased him.

Glen is survived by his brother Harold; his children Richard Glen (Jolene) Hueholt, Barbara Ann (Dayton) Holmes, and Carol Susan (Craig) Young; grandchildren Michael Glen (Kim) Spangler,
Kenneth Hueholt, Bethany (Jamie) Leavens, and Nicholas Hueholt; great-grandchildren Michaela Spangler, Natasha Leavens, and Mitchell Leavens. He is also survived by his treasured friends and caretakers Juliet Bodu-Dwomo, Agnes Asiamah, Irene Ayenor, and
Rebecca Opuku, and by many of his beloved Webber and Hueholt extended families.
