Glenn Autry Hitt's Obituary
Glenn Autry Hitt, 87, of Castleton, VA, passed away on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Culpeper Hospital. He was born June 11, 1938, to the late Charles William Hitt and Sallie Lee Hitt.
He proudly served in the United States Army between the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War, a time in his life he often reflected on with great pride. A true outdoorsman, he found peace and happiness in nature and loved spending time outside whenever he could.
A skilled carpenter by trade, he built many homes throughout Rappahannock County, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the community he served. He took immense pride in his craftsmanship and in seeing families make memories in the houses he helped create. He also enjoyed working on his own home, always finding a project to improve or repair. He loved what he did and was deeply proud of both his military service and his life’s work.
