Glen Jolly

Glen and Jenny


Sadly missed: Glen Jolly 1934-2011

Glen and Jenny Jolly were involved from the very beginnings of Wirraway Homestead. In 1975 they felt directed by God to use some of their inheritance to set up a residential campsite where young people would find out about having a faith in Jesus. Both Glen and Jenny were involved in picking the site where Wirraway now stands, and generously gave the initial donation which allowed Wirraway to come into being. From its conception Glen was involved in many practical ways, sourcing materials and particularly helping with buildings. Along with Jenny, Glen served on the Wirraway Board until very recently, when he retired through ill health. Glen and Jenny have been supportive of Wirraway in every way throughout its history, including attending every significant event. Glen always expressed that he was thankful to God for providing them with the chance to be involved in such a wonderful enterprise. Always a humble man, generous and kind, and with a love for his family and friends, Glen will be sadly missed by all who knew him. The Board and Staff at Wirraway recognise the very important role he played in the development of Wirraway, and send their love and prayers to his wife, Jenny, and his family.
