Jody Lynn Glidden Obituary (1985 - 2021)

OLD TOWN - Jody Lynn Glidden, 36, gained her golden angel wings on October 17, 2021, after a long courageous battle with cancer that she fought with such grace, faith, strength and positivity! She was an absolutely fierce warrior. Jody was born on September 2, 1985, in Bangor, Maine where she was raised. She had a flare for life with a contagious laugh, an unmistakable smile, a sparkle in her eyes, a sense of humor that would make anyone laugh, a light that lit up the darkest corners, and a heart filled with love and compassion ten times bigger than the biggest heart on earth. Jody knew what it meant to love unconditionally and so deeply that no words could describe when she became a mother to each of her five children. She would beam with such pride and love when she talked about them. Jody is survived by her beloved parents, Anita and Rick Loring; her children, Abby, Jamey Jr., Allison, Mikayla and Aubree; the love of her life, Chris Brountas; a best friend, Jamey Badger Sr.; her sisters, Dorothy Eldridge, husband, Jason, Lillian Loring, husband, Everett, Michelle Cowpertwaite, husband, Gene, Jessica Loring, boyfriend, Chester, and Jennifer Perron, husband, Chris; her brothers, JR Loring, wife, Meagan, Carl Lally, and Richie Loring, girlfriend, Rylee; Her Aunt Nancy and Uncle George Gilks; Uncle Ricky and Aunt Amy McKenzie; her favorite little nephew, Jordan; special cousin, Ashley McKenzie, who was more like a sister, and several special nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and family. Jody was predeceased by her father, Herbie Glidden; her beloved grandmother, Betty Glidden; brother, Joey Glidden; sister, Lori Lally; and special nephew, Markie Lally. Jody showed such courage and strength throughout her life. She knew what mattered most: family whether it be by blood or by choice! No service will be held at this time. Instead we know Jody would want you to spend the day with your family. Hug them and show them you love them. Life is short. It's not about the beginning or the end... it's about the journey that matters most.
