Glade Flanigan

Glade William Flanigan, 80, of Beaver Dam, AZ, peacefully passed away on February 12, 2023
Glade was born on March 6, 1942, to Wallace and Sarah Jeanette (Walker) Flanigan in Cedar City, UT. After graduation from Cedar High School in 1960, Glade was a driver salesman for more than 30 years, retiring from Wonder Bread in 1997.
Glade met Judee Wood at Cedar High School, and in 1961 they married and had three lovely daughters - Tamara, Amber, and Tara. Though their marriage didn’t last forever as they had hoped, they remained close. His most proud accomplishment was his beautiful girls, and he was a very devoted father.
Glade married Nancy (Wolfe) McManus in 1990 and became a beloved stepfather to Carrie and Lissa who had lost their father. Glade was a steadfast and supportive partner to Nancy, and they enjoyed traveling, hosting friends and family, and just enjoying quiet time together. Their primary home was in Marysville, Washington and they spent winters in Beaver Dam, Arizona.
Glade had a passion for sports. As a young man, he played football and basketball in high school. He was an avid golfer, and a loyal fan of the Seattle Seahawks. Glade also loved to read and was always enjoying a new book. To say Glade was a gardener does not capture the essence of the beautiful landscapes he created.
Glade was preceded in death by his daughter Amber Malkuch, his brother Wallace (Wally) and sister-in-law Helen (Thorley) Flanigan, his brother Murray Flanigan, and his sister Phyllis Gill.
Glade is survived by his wife Nancy, his sister Jeanette (Gary) Berrett Jones of Cedar City, daughters Tamara (Mahlon) Dormon of San Leandro, CA, Tara Ewing of Walnut Creek, CA, his stepdaughters Carrie (Pete) Feiock of Bothell, WA, Elizabeth Prouse of Marysville, WA, his eleven grandchildren, Ashlee, Travis, Alexander, Emily, Isaac, Elijah, Sophie, Chelsea, Kylie, Corey, and Jonathan. He also had four sparkling great granddaughters. Glade also leaves many dear nephews and nieces and extended family. Glade’s definition of family would include his dearest friends Jim and Carolann Donelon of Ferndale, WA. He and Jim shared many fun fishing and golfing trips as well as many years as Seahawks season ticket holders. They shared a rare 40 plus year friendship.
In accordance with Glade’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. Final arrangements are under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary. Online condolences can be sent at www.mortuary.org
