Glennis Yeager passed away in 1990

Glennis Yeager, the beloved wife of legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager, passed away in 1990 after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Their marriage was a partnership that spanned decades, during which they raised four children: Susan, Don, Mickey, and Sharon. Glennis was not only a supportive spouse but also an integral part of Chuck's life, often accompanying him during his remarkable career in aviation. Her strength and resilience were evident as she faced her illness, and her legacy continues through her children and the memories they cherish. Tragically, the family faced further heartache when their son Mickey (Michael) died unexpectedly in Oregon on March 26, 2011. The Yeager family has endured significant challenges, yet they remain a testament to love and perseverance in the face of adversity. Glennis's impact on her family and her husband's life is remembered fondly, and her spirit lives on in the stories shared by those who knew her. As we reflect on her life, we honor the contributions she made not only as a mother and wife but also as a woman who stood by one of the most iconic figures in aviation history.
