Helen Grazina Locke
Nov. 2, 1946 – Jan. 24, 2024
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Helen Locke, beloved wife, mother and cherished member of the community, passed away peacefully at her home in Clearlake Oaks, California, on Jan. 24, 2024.
Helen was born at the end of World War II to Lithuanian parents at a displaced-persons (DP) camp in Augsburg, Germany. Her family immigrated to the United States in 1949, living at several places in the Midwest before settling in South Haven, Michigan, where Helen grew up and graduated from high school.
Helen then moved to California and embarked on a career at Pacific Bell as a computer systems manager. It was while there that she became a naturalized citizen and met and married her husband, Dennis. Helen and Dennis retired from Pacific Bell and moved to Clearlake Oaks in 2002.
In retirement Helen became active in local politics, community, and volunteer organizations. She had a passion for fishing, gardening, world travel, and the San Francisco Giants and 49ers.
Helen is predeceased by her parents; sister, Marie; brother, Bill; and former husband, Charles Glenn. She is survived by her husband of 40 years, Dennis; son, Jess Glenn; sisters, Rita and Amy; and several nieces and nephews.
We would like to express heartfelt gratitude to our friends and neighbors for their support and to Hospice Services of Lake County for their excellent care during the last stage of Helen’s life.
A celebration of life potluck will be held at the Clear Lake Keys Club in Clearlake Oaks on Saturday, Feb. 24, beginning at noon.
Helen was a caring individual with a deep commitment to family and community. She will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Lynda Holden MacInnes
March 23, 1967 — Jan. 24, 2024
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lynda was a loving wife, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend.
Her warm personality, infectious smile and generous heart made her a favorite of all who knew her.
She had a stellar work ethic which her fellow coworkers would always speak of.
Lynda always enjoyed a sunny vacation spot, but her most favorite place was at her and her loving husband, Steve's, cabin on Cobb. It was definitely her happy place, a place where family and friends would gather. A place where her granddaughters would come for camp-outs, movies, games and to enjoy the great outdoors.
She loved to make "Grandpa Jack’s" pancakes for the girls, as it reminded her of good times growing up.
A celebration of life will be held at her "Happy Place" when the weather warms.
