Glenna B. Tomasula

Glenna (West) Tomasula, age 105, was welcomed into her eternal home on February 5, 2026. She is now celebrating with God, her loving husband Hank, and all of her family and friends that arrived before her.

Glenna was born to John and Nellie West of April 9, 1920, in the small coal mining town of Cary, Kentucky. Her family of seven moved to the Beaver County area in the 1940’s as the steel mills were booming and work was plenty.

Glenna met the love of her life, John (Hank as most called him) Tomasula. They married and raised three children in the town of Beaver.

Glenna loved making her house a warm and inviting home where all were welcome. Neighborhood children would frequently gather around the kitchen table for her famous chocolate chip cookies. Her hobby of sewing grew as the years passed, and she lovingly hand stitched several beautiful quilts for her family. After Hank passed in 1984, Glenna was invited, by her friend, Joan, to join a bowling league. There she spent most Tuesday evenings with her “bowling buddies” as she enjoyed the competition and the friendship… and her friends enjoyed her homemade fudge! Glenna wore many hats in her 105 years… but her favorite was being a loving and caring wife and mother.

Glenna was preceded in death by her devoted husband, John (Hank) Tomasula and her siblings, Dallas West, Bill West, Bob West, and Marie Ohlinger.

Glenna is survived by her sons, Ronald Tomasula and Michael Tomasula, and her daughter, Mary (Art) Krepps. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Mathew Tomasula, Jason (April) Krepps, Joshua Krepps. Lauren (Rich) Palya, and John Tomasula along with her great grandchildren, Taylor Krepps, Sydney Krepps, Jack Palya, Henry Palya, and Anthony Palya and several nieces and nephews.

The family is eternally grateful to Glenna’s dear friend Ursula…. for the many wonderful and truly” special” times they shared together. Heartfelt thanks also go to Helen for her friendship and care. The family wishes to thank Nurse Jessica and Good Samaritan Hospice for the kindness, compassion, and the many services that were readily available.

Often asked what her secret to her longevity was, Glenna always replied, “the love of God and family.” One of Glenna’s favorite hymns was “When the Roll is called up Yonder” and now she is happily and peacefully there.

As per Glenna’s wishes, there will be no public visitation.

Professional arrangements have been entrusted to the Noll Funeral Home, Inc., 333 Third Street, Beaver, PA 15009.
