Glenn R. Miller, a former minor league baseball player and long-time resident of The Highlands in Wyomissing, passed away on January 15, 2026, at the age of 81. He was the devoted husband of Sally A. (Hunt) Miller, with whom he celebrated 60 years of marriage on May 8, 2025.
Born in Leesport, Glenn was the son of the late Kenneth G. Miller and Beulah A. (Wentzel) Miller. He graduated from Ontelaunee High School in 1962 and went on to serve in the United States Army. Following his military service, he dedicated 37 years to his career as a representative for Lutheran Brotherhood, now known as Thrivent, before retiring in 1999.
Glenn’s passion for sports was evident throughout his life. Notably, he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in their minor league system and achieved the remarkable feat of recording two holes-in-one during his golf career. His love for baseball and golf was matched by a deep commitment to his community and church.
Throughout his life, Glenn engaged actively in various organizations. He served on the church council for the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Leesport and held the position of East Berks Mission Lay President for six years. His contributions extended to the Board of Family Life at Topton Home, the Berks County Prison Society Board, and the Prospectus/Berco Board. Additionally, he was a life member of the Basketball Old Timers and the Reading Hot Stovers.
Glenn is survived by his two sons, Kerry G. Miller, married to Giuseppina from Danbury, CT, and Brian K. Miller, married to Michael McCarthy, from Chester Township, NJ. He also leaves behind three grandchildren: Peter, Gabriella, and Giuliana. His legacy continues through his siblings: Larry D. Miller (husband of Sylvia) from Lancaster, Deanna F. (Miller) Barbis (wife of Peter) from The Highlands, Lynn K. Miller (husband of Barbara) from Monroeville, NJ, and Steven K. Miller (husband of Gail) from Pennsville, NJ. He was predeceased by his daughter, Deanna S. Miller, who passed away on November 17, 2017.
