Mrs. Denney was born on February 1, 1938 in Macon, GA. She moved to Columbus, GA in 1956 when she married the late John William Denney, Sr. She loved her family and friends beyond measure and from a very young age had a passion for horses and riding. As a long time equestrian and active member of Midland Fox Hounds in Midland, GA, she enjoyed fox hunting and dressage. In her later years, Mrs. Denney became interested in her genealogy, which led to her involvement with Daughters of the American Revolution. After living in Columbus for 66 years, Mrs. Denney moved to Thrive Senior Living in Augusta, GA to be closer to her family. She truly cherished her time there with the staff and her friends, bringing her love for games to the community.
