Dr. Glen W. Probst Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Glen Weston Probst, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2018 at the age of 82.  He was a resident of Orem, Utah, at the time of his passing. He was, and will continue to be, our example of faith, diligence, and righteous living.  He truly loved and served his family and friends, both those around him and those who have preceded him beyond the veil. Glen was born July 1, 1936, at home in Midway, Utah, the son of Karl Lorenzo Probst and Carrie (Cree) Sophia Wright.  He married the love of his life, Venetta Hullinger, of Vernal, Utah September 19, 1960 in the Salt Lake Temple. Apostle LeGande Richards performed the wedding ceremony. Glen served as a full-time missionary in the Mexico Mission from 1956-59 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He later returned to Mexico and neighboring countries for adventure and archeology. Glen graduated from Wasatch High School in 1954, and later attended Brigham Young University, where he earned two degrees: Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts with an emphasis in Spanish and foreign language teaching methodology. Between degrees he taught Spanish, English, and other subjects at Pleasant Grove High School and Junior High School. In 1966 he received a fellowship to study and teach Spanish at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.  In 1969 Glen received his Ph.D in Foreign Language Education, Teacher Education, and Audiovisual Communications. He taught at Michigan State University in East Lansing, and later at Montana State University in Bozeman as Head of the Modern Languages Department. While there he was contracted by the State Dept. to do workshop training for the Sioux, Crow, and Cree Tribal Nations. After five years at Montana State Glen took a leave of absence to help the Cassia County School District in Burley, Idaho, come into compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1980 Glen was offered a position at BYU. He and Venetta and their children moved to Orem, where Glen served as the founding director of BYU's English Language Center. During that time he spent many enjoyable hours teaching and supervising teachers and foreign students from many different countries of the world. He served in this capacity for 25 years, retiring in 2005, and remaining as Emeritus Professor until 2008. He loved working with his colleagues and students from the many different cultures in the Center. He also wrote many materials for teaching English as a second language (ESL) and distributed thousands of copies around the world. The LDS Church adopted them and makes them available to missionaries and members worldwide through the Pathways program. Glen was a pioneer in the use of interactive videodisc technology under computer control to teach English as a foreign language. He and a colleague repurposed the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark for this purpose. Glen served faithfully in many callings in the Church. Some of his favorite callings were: Scoutmaster (five times in three different states), Bishop, twice as Branch President at the Provo MTC, Sunday School teacher, and language missionary with his wife Venetta. An avid outdoorsman, Glen spent weekends and free time fly fishing, hunting, backpacking, vegetable gardening, and rock hounding. He enjoyed hobbies that included, oil painting, leather tooling, woodworking, inventing, and gemstone cutting. Glen is survived by his dear wife, Venetta, and his 10 children: Bradley (Diane) Probst of Highland, Utah; Angela (Michael) Reeves of Orem, Utah; Jennifer (Scott) Hales, of Kirkland, Washington; Rachelle (Brent) Packer of Cedar Hills, Utah, Benjamin (Carolina) Probst of Herriman, Utah; Charmain (Barret) Runyon of Fort Worth, Texas; Brian Probst of Provo, Utah; Emily (David) Lesher of American Fork, Utah; Allison (Brandon) Barber of Wichita, Kansas, and Daniel (Kimber) Probst of Herriman, Utah.
