Glenn Conover, Jr. of Doylestown passed away on Saturday, January 25, 2020 surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Glenn was 57 years of age.
Glenn attended St. Joseph’s grade school in Warrington PA and graduated from Archbishop Wood High School, class of 1980. He was hired by the U.S. postal service in April 1989 and worked as a letter carrier in Willow Grove Pa, where he had close to 30 years of service upon his retirement. He enjoyed “walking and talking”, always taking time to get to know his customers and delivering the mail with a smile. Many of the customers on his mail route became longtime friends. Glenn was proud of the service he provided and often said how much he loved the people in Willow Grove.
Glenn is survived by his wife of 25 years Carol (Nee Conway) Conover, and by his children Jack J. and Claire E. Conover. He is also survived by a large extended family and many close friends who provided much love and support throughout his illness.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated for Glenn on Saturday February 1, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Doylestown. Internment will follow in Doylestown Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. and on Saturday from 8:00-9:00am at Shelly Funeral Home 1460 Easton Rd. Warrington.
