Glenn Allen Furman

Glenn Allen Furman was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and friend. He entered Heaven on February 7, 2026. He was born to Charles Lee and Margaret Crouch Furman on October 16, 1942, in Mt. Morris, PA, the youngest of three children. After graduating from Mt. Morris High School with academic and athletic honors, he married the love of his life, Jean Lemley, on June 18, 1960. They were blessed with 65 years of marriage. Together, they had three daughters: Lynne McLauchlin (Steve), Peggy Maria (George), and Kris Falcone (Vince). Glenn was a proud grandfather to Stephanie Young, Ryan Wilson, Ben McLauchlin, Jennifer Shaw and David Falcone, and great grandfather to Owen, Jordan and Marianne. He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Nancy Wise and brother Melvin Furman. Glenn earned his Batchelor’s degree from West Virginia University and Master of Education from University of Virginia. In 1963 he began his career at Alexandria City Public Schools at age 20, teaching Physical Education, Science and Drivers Education. His coaching career started that same year, often being mistaken for a student or player. He was a member of the coaching staff during the historic 1971 state championship football team depicted in “Remember the Titans”. He coached the Junior Varsity football team at Hammond High School before returning to TC Williams High School as head Varsity coach, leading the team to two state championships, one state runner-up, national rankings and a cumulative 153-24-2 record. Glenn was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, Fairfax County Football Hall of Fame, and a three-time recipient of the Alexandria City Public Schools Sports Hall of Fame, and numerous Coach of the Year awards. Glenn was an avid outdoorsman, spending time hunting and fishing. He was a fan of NASCAR, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and WVU football. He and Jean loved vacationing several times a year in Maine, Florida, Williamsburg and Edisto Island, SC. An even greater love than his wife, family and hobbies was his love for his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Glenn committed his life to God in 1974 and served Him faithfully. A Celebration of Life will be held at Chapel Springs Church in Bristow, Virginia on March 14, 2026, beginning with visitation at 10:00 am, service at 11:00 am, followed by a meal at 12:00. A private burial will be held in Mt. Morris, PA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Christ In Action, 21465 Business Ct, Elkwood, VA 22718.
