Glenn’s laugh was so infectious, no one could resist joining in. To have laughed with Glenn, was to know the meaning of “almost laughing yourself to death”; your face would be distorted, tears would be streaming down your cheeks and you would be gasping for breath. Glenn loved going riding on his big strawberry roan gelding, Drummer. His nieces and nephews will cherish the memories of going to Uncle Glenn’s to see his many animals. He always had dogs and usually, cats, horses, goats and turkeys. He united in marriage to Shirley Ann Miskell on March 4, 1958 and she preceded him in death on November 17, 2015.

Benningfield and his wife, Diane Ford-Benningfield of Campbellsville; four grandchildren: Andrew Christian Ford and Ryan Patrick Benningfield and Eric Marshall Benningfield of Louisville and Patrick Dylan Ford Campbellsville; three sisters and two brothers: Juanita Newton and husband, Lennie and Eldon Benningfield and wife, Judy of Campbellsville, Madlyn Parrott of Danville, Ralph Benningfield of Sparta, Tennessee and Shirley Coffey of Greensburg; several nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends.
