Glendon Keith Cline, 82, of Rover, Missouri, passed away on February 18, 2025, in West Plains, Missouri. He was born on March 24, 1942, in St. Louis, Missouri, and grew up in Alton, Missouri. Glendon was a proud veteran of the Vietnam War, serving in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he built a career as a skilled machinist with Trans World Airlines in Kansas City, Missouri, where he worked until his retirement. After retiring, he and his beloved wife, Mildred Ann Cline, returned to the Ozarks to live on the family farm in Rover, Missouri, where they enjoyed the peaceful beauty of the land they loved. Glendon was a man of great skill and resourcefulness—his children often said, "If he couldn't fix it, then it couldn't be fixed." He found joy in hunting and fishing, pastimes that connected him to nature and tradition. Above all, he was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who instilled in his children the true meaning of family. He is preceded in death by his wife, Mildred Ann Cline, and his sisters, Linda Cline and Danielle Miller. Glendon is survived by his daughters, Geneva Niemi (husband Pat Niemi) and Shelia Priest (fiancé Doug LaFevers); his grandchildren, Alex, Jaxson, and Paige Priest; great-granddaughter Eleanor Priest, his brother, Danny Cline; and many nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory. A loving father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Glendon’s legacy of love, wisdom, and dedication to family will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
