Whilman Sheets

W. Glenn Sheets, a resident of Baton Rouge, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 2nd at the age of 78. He showed great courage for the last 12 months as he battled complications from a stroke.

He had a great love for baseball, fishing, LSU sports, making new friends, and flying his own airplane. He was a caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

He is survived by Elaine Sheets, mother of two of his children Leanne S. Willie (Mark) and Jennifer Sheets.  They were married for 25 years.  Also survived by his oldest daughter Nicole S. Mabry, whose mother Susan Freshwater Brown preceded Glenn in death in 2019.  Survived by stepson Jeffrey Loup (Margaret), his younger siblings Ronald Sheets, and Kim Sheets (Dena), and his stepmother Marge Sheets.
