Glenna was born March 14, 1933, to Aubrie Dias and Edna Belle McClenaghan in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Glenna attended high school in both Richland and Waitsburg, Washington. While attending Yakima Valley Junior College she met Bill Hall while he was stationed in Moses Lake, Washington, in 1953. They were married shortly after his honorable discharge from the Air Force on Jan. 15, 1955, in Yakima, Washington. Bill and Glenna celebrated 59 years of marriage. Bill and Glenna made their first home in Richland, Washington, where Bill was employed as a radiation monitor for the Hanford Atomic Works Project. Her eldest two sons were born while Bill and Glenna lived in Richland: Jon in 1955 and Jeff in 1957. In 1958, they moved to Kuttawa, Kentucky, where Bill and Glenna’s third son, Jim, was born in 1961 in Paducah, Kentucky.
