The youngest of Gerry and Vickie Glasco's three children, Geri Ann was known as much for her giving nature as her softball prowess. She was an active volunteer in the Eugene, Oregon, community as a student-athlete at the University of Oregon from 2015-16. Glasco worked at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders in Portland, Oregon, and also accumulated more than 300 volunteer hours helping in local elementary schools.
 

We are gutted to hear of the tragic accident that led to the passing of Geri Ann Glasco. She was a fierce competitor for @UGASoftball and @OregonSB Great pitcher, lovely young woman. Heartsick for her family. @GerryGlasco
