Glen Campbell’s wives
Glen got married for the first time at the age of 17, with Diane Kirk who was just 15. They got married in the year 1954 and at the same time, Diane was pregnant as well.

On the same year of their divorce, Glen again got married to a singer, Sarah Barg. They got married on September 1976. On an interview, Glen said that,
I can’t be alone. We’re going to get married as soon as all the papers are in.
Sarah’s ex-husband was Glen’s friend. It was heard that Glen was the reason behind Sarah and his ex-husband’s divorce but Glen claims that it is not so. According to him, he started dating Sarah only after her divorce with her previous husband was complete.

A letter Kimberly wrote about his deceased husband
As I mentioned earlier, after his husband's death, Kimberly wrote a letter about her husband, it goes like this,
I have been grieving and saying goodbye to Glen every day for the last six years, ever since his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, not knowing which day he might forget me or which day might be his last. Although I knew it was inescapable and certain, nothing could have prepared me for the profound loss I felt as I said goodbye for the final time yesterday. I had been praying that I would be able to hold his hand when he entered eternity, and my request was granted. While surrounded by family, I watched him take his last breath.
The letter ended like this,
In 1981, Glen and I identified ourselves with the death, burial and resurrection of the Messiah by being immersed in a creek near the cemetery where Glen’s body will rest. Glen publicly professed his faith, publicly shared his struggles and triumphs over alcoholism, and publicly shared his journey with Alzheimer’s, all to the glory of God. I find immense comfort knowing that Glen’s spirit is now free and present with the Lord. I have no doubt that when he met his maker yesterday at 10am, he was greeted with, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.
