She was a great and capable lady. May God give comfort and peace in the hearts of her family.

So Hard to believe my friend has been gone for a year. Truly you were a friend to all and especially your Missionaries on the field. Love you my true friend, and praying your family are being strong and especially today being it's been a year since you have gone on to a better place. 
God Bless
Sis Carole Terry

This was me (age 5), along with my siblings (ages 4 & 3 or there abouts) when Sis. Denny first met us. She knocked on our door and invited 3 little kids to Sunday School at the OC United Pentecostal Church. That was 47 years ago! All 3 of us, now married, with our own kids, in various ministries, are still living for God! If it wasn't for the Denny family, we don't know where we'd be and we certainly would never have known about our blessed Savior! Their  entire family along with many extended family members have become treasured friends through the years. We will never forget the precious and beautiful Sis. Coral Denny. Our love, prayers and gratitude continue with all of you! We love you all so much! ♥

Knowing that we have been able to be a part of the life of Sis Denny is a true blessing and we feel very privileged to have known her. We realize that we were blessed to have been able to share in her life in all those times she visited us on the mission field; Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Australia. It was always a joy having her come and be able to spend time with our family. She was a great substitute Grandmother to Laura and Timothy and she never came empty handed always showering them with love and gifts.  Those memories will always be very precious to us. Our deepest condolences, our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Forever Love, 
Richard, Andrea, Laura, Timothy and Hannah Carver

Sister Denny was one very sweet and kind lady who we had the pleasure of knowing over many years as missionaries. It was always with great pleasure we had in her in our home, meeting our grand children and sharing a meal. Coral visited Papua New Guinea various times and always took the hardships in her stride even when her bag and passport were stolen!! She always had a cheerful smile and these problems did not overwhelm her!
We know it will be a huge loss to Brother Denny and her children and grandchildren. We can take heart that she has a great reward waiting and she can look forward to "Well done..."

What a precious lady was our Sister Coral Denny.  She saw possibility, potential, success in doing anything with the right attitude, for the right reason(s), the right way (GOD'S WAY).  What a wise, godly woman she was.  

We share some photos here with loving memories of our trip to Pohnpei with them in 2004.  The Dennys introduced us to Micronesia at that time and those islands we have now served since 2008.  We saw the Dennys in action, and Sister Denny's love and respect for Brother Denny was noticeable and genuine.  What a powerful influence she was upon younger ladies, wives and mothers.

THANK YOU, SISTER DENNY, for a job well done.  We love and miss you!

P.S.  This photo told me (Kelley), "If Sister Denny can, so can I!"

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bro Denny, Richard & family, Lena & family and Ramona & family.  We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Sis. Denny.  She was a precious friend.  Bro. & Sis. Denny were our Regional Director for 16 years.  We had so many good times in Tonga, American Samoa and Samoa.  We had many times of food and fellowship.  Sis. Denny was a true friend to all of the folks in the islands where we worked.  We look forward to seeing you, Sis. Denny, in the sweet bye and bye.  God bless and keep you all in this your time of need.

Moments after she flew away...

Mom, I know you are not in this body anymore. I look at you and remember... and even imagine your youth.
In this now still form; you grew, you played, you learned.
The body you possessed lays well used.

The lines distinguished on your face, crease where there were innumerable smiles. Your brow parades the hours of concentration and determination.

Though you operated your small frame with the energy of 10 others, it now rests from its call to do more.

The effort you most tackled was to share with any other, the conviction of God in Christ Jesus is our salvation.

Somewhere, you heeded an invitation from Jesus that propelled you ceaselessly. This invitation has now taken you beyond our grasp.

Though you fly in other worlds, we reap your love, we reap your devotion.

I think of you  as a miracle girl who made the most use of what God gave to her. You grew into an irresistible lady with the sweetness of Jesus. You built others with humble wisdom, knowing well an invitation awaits us all.

Here, within this body; you loved, you sought, you listened, you laughed-to-tears, you worked with joy.
Here in this body you lived fully.

I hope to spend my body and time as productively as you showed us can be done.

I look forward to seeing you an inexhaustible form.
I am forever honored to be taught by you.

Your son, Rich

I am so sorry for your loss. Sister Denny was one of the kindest, sweetest, most helpful people I have ever known in my life. She had a beautiful way of encouraging people. I once went to Sister Denny with a special request and needed a little bit of advice, and she was understanding, and gave it a extremely good advice. She will be sorely missed in the kingdom of God.

We are sadden by the recent passing of Sister Denny and send our love and condolences to Bro. Denny and the family during this time. Both my wife Sister Goodare and myself have some very fond memories of Sister Denny and Bro Denny whilst they were RD for the South Pacific. Sister Denny was a tremendous blessing to us both and the work here in New Zealand.

Our prayers for Bro. Denny and the family during this time.

Bro.  Denny and Family,

Darry and I are so sorry for your loss. Our memories go back a ways. When I think of Coral I can see her ever present smile. She exemplified the beauty and grace of a Christlike spirit.  She possessed a “I can do it” spirit.  She was strong. She was a doer.  She met the challenges of life. Tiling, laying floors, redoing bathrooms, painting and gardening were not beyond her. Above all she was a partner in ministry. She served in so many capacities: pastors wife, District Superintendent’s  wife, Regional Director’s  wife and a missionary. That role was the hallmark of her life: teaching, ministering, keeping a home and loving others. Her passion for the lost describes her life. Death has taken her from us , but her legacy lives on. comfort that can only comes from Him, and he does all things well. 

Darry and Kathy

Sister Denny was a faithful hand maid of the Lord.  She was very capable and great a companion for Brother Denny!  May God bless and comfort the family in this time of grief!

Bro Denny and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Sis Denney was one who always wore a beautiful smile, took time to listen, and warmed me with kind words of encouragement.  A beautiful soul inside and out.
I will miss her but only till we meet again on the streets of glory!! 
Till then...


My deepest sympathy is with you Brother Denny and family. It was always a joy to have Sister Denny and Brother Denny in our home. I am sorry for her passing but she has passed over to a better home where there is no more pain, suffering and sorrow. She's now dancing around the throne with Jesus and many other friends that has gone on before.

Brother Denny, I will be praying that God will give you strength in the days that are ahead. I can sympathize with you. May God bless and strengthen the whole family at this time. 

Sincerely,
Lee Sherry

Dear Brother Denny and Family,
There are no words to describe what is at the core of our heart this moment. 
Our grief is heavy knowing that those of us left behind have lost a genuine friend.  Sister Coral Denny, your precious wife,  possessed such a gentle spirit.  Her godly life so encouraging.  
To know her was to love her. 
Sister Denny was a woman that reflected His character.  She was always loving and always gracious. 
We are grateful that He has wiped away her every tear and that there is no more pain.  She has run this race and has victoriously crossed the Finish Line. 
We will especially be praying for you, Brother Denny, at this most difficult time, as well as for your entire extended family.  
Sister Buckland and I love you all.  We are so grateful that God allowed the path of our lives to intersect.  The Pacific Region loves you.  And more importantly, our faithful LORD loves you and cares.  
May His never-failing arms undergird you with the strength and comfort needed until we all see His face in the sweet by and by.

With Our Deepest Sympathy,
Roger and Becky Buckland

Bro. Denny and your Family,

We are so sorry to learn of the passing of your dear wife and mother of your kids. We have been praying for you and will continue to call on the Comforter to minister to each one in the way only He can give comfort. The Lord JESUS bless you all!

John and Nory Cogan

Dear Bro Denny,

We would like to give our deepest condolences to you and your family on the home going of Sis Denny. Both of you are well honored and respected in the Pacific region when you were the RD for us.
May our Lord be your strength and comfort in this time of sadness.

Praying for you in God’s Grace and love.

In Christ,

Our hearts are so saddened by the news of Sis. Denny's passing.  Please accept our sympathies and know that the Wilts are praying for your peace.

Bro. and Sis. Denny have always been the best of friends and knew how to care for those they loved.  The Kingdom will always be blessed by their involvement with the souls of men in the field.

To The Denny family, 

So sorry to hear of the passing of Sis. Denny.  She was a lady we have always admired, and appreciated.  She always had a smile!  And probably smiling more now that she has fought the “good fight of faith”.  We pray that each of you will receive comfort from the Spirit of God during this time of your loss.

Sis. Beth & I have always loved Bro. & Sis. Denny, you have been a great example of leadership to us!

May God bless you,

We were so very sorry to learn of your mother’s passing.  What a huge loss.  We love and respect your parents immensely.  They were a great blessing and influence in our lives.

I still have both of my parents, but Dave lost his father this past December.  I cannot imagine what your family is going through, especially your dad.  We’ll uplift him even more as he faces the coming days.  Bless his heart.

May God bless and keep you all.  All of the family is in our thoughts and prayers.

With sympathy and love,
Kelley Dibble

To:  Brother Richard Denny, all the family and Friends:

During some sixty years of working with many missionaries I consider Coral Denny to be one of the most Christ like, dedicated and servant spirited missionaries I had the joy of working with.  Richard Denny for many years served as one of our very outstanding missionary leaders.  Beside him was that precious, smiling, sacrificing wife who was willing to make any sacrifice needed in her missionary work. 

The missionary work done by the Dennys in the Philippines was most outstanding.  During the three years we lived in the Philippines we had an opportunity to observe how the church in the Philippines loved their missionaries, Brother and Sister Denny.  Then after their appointment as Regional Director to the Pacific Region they traveled ministering to the needs of thousands throughout the Pacific Region.  They became an important part of that region loved by the ministry and membership of that vast part of the world.

Brother Denny, Helen and I have experienced what you are now going through and we are standing behind you in prayer.  May the peace of God fill your life and in times of loneliness may you feel our loving Savior near.

Sincerely,
Brother and Sister Harry Scism

I’ve been going through our old photos to scan the hard copies and slides and organize them with the thousands of those we’ve collected since digital photography took over.   I’m not nearly done but making progress.  My collection includes some from SOM 1974 and I came across one I took of your folks seated with Alan at some event.  They were such a good-looking couple!

Given the passing of your mom, I want to send our heartfelt condolences and ALSO attach the photo.  I remember your mother as being a marvelous hostess and I’m sure so much, much more to you.  Please convey our warmest greetings to your dear dad.  We trust and pray that he will go forward with courage and joy in the knowledge that she has gone into the heavens to forever be with the Lord, waiting for that glad reunion day with those of you who will follow. We deeply appreciate their many years of missions ministry and dedicated service in the Kingdom of God in other ways.  

Bless YOU for remaining faithful and true in all things concerning Christ and for being there for your father at this difficult time.  

Fondly,
Valere Demos (and, Alan, too)

I just want you to know that I have good memories of your dear mother, who was as close to being an “angel” as anyone could imagine.  I always admired her kind spirit, her wisdom, and her confidentiality when counselling.  She was a comforting presence in my life during a difficult time.  I know that you and your precious Dad, and the rest of your family will miss her greatly.  Heaven is surely rejoicing at this time, and we know we will see her once again.
I wish you and your family hope and peace in the future.

Sincerely,
Debbie Phillips

Sending love and prayers up in Jesus name for this SWEET family. GOD'S blessing upon you all.

Please accept my condolences on the death of your mother. Please let your dad know that I am praying for the family. Your mother was a very sweet-spirited lady. She was kind and was always nice to be around. We didn’t see her in the office all the time, but it was always nice when she was there.

God Bless,
Andrea Sanders

Dear Sir,

We were sorry to learn of the death of Sister Coral Denny, and we wish to express our sympathy to you and to your family on behalf of the United Pentecostal Church Philippines, Inc.

Brother Richard Denny was our Regional Director during much of the time we were missionaries in the Fiji Islands. We want to express our heartfelt condolences at the passing of Sister Coral Denny.  May God bless and comfort the Denny family at this sad time.  Sincerely,  Kenneth and Shelba Reed

Sister Coral was a grand lady.  As many have stated she was the embodiment of kindness and a devoted servant of God as well as a staunch partner to her life's love, Richard.
We have no doubt that the Lord Jesus has welcomed her to her eternal home.
We pray for the Lord's blessing and comfort to Brother Denny and the family.

It was our life’s honor to serve under Bro & Sis Denny in the Pacific Region for several years.  Sis Denny was a tremendous reflection  of God’s kindness and  love.  She always had a ready smile and a kind word of encouragement.  We will truly miss  her on our earthly journey; but thankful she has received her crown!  Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bro Denny.  May God bless you with strength and peace.  All our love from Guam!  Bro & Sis de Guzman and PRC family.❤️🙏🏽

Sis Coral Denny was among the most gracious of women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and serving with while she and her husband oversaw the District of WA, UPCI.

Some individuals ooze with genuine kindness. Sister Denny was that person to me.  I can only smile knowing she has her eternal reward walking with Jesus.

This wonderful, loving woman of the Lord will be greatly missed.  She is such a beautiful lady in every way - inside and out.  We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Bro. Denny, family and friends 

Some day we can reunite with her in heaven - such a joyful promise!

Love to you all.  💕

She will be greatly missed. She was a wonderful lady. I will always remember the kindness she showed me.

To know Sister Denny was to love her.  Her gentle and godly spirit touched the lives of everyone around her through her smiles, laughter and kindness.  She was indeed a lady.  
Our paths have criss-crossed for decades through global missions ministry in the Philippines and then the Pacific Region.  But so much more than a colleague, Coral Denny was a friend.  A true friend.  And how we loved her.
We send our love and most sincere condolences to Brother Denny and to the entire family. 

Such a beautiful lady with a beautiful spirit.  She was so friendly and a lot of fun to be around.  Steady is another word to describe her.  Our prayers are with Bro Denny and all of the family.  Our lives were made better by having known her.

A lady of dignity, grace and sweet spirit.  Sister Denny will long be remembered as a kind-hearted person.  It was our honor to serve together as regional directors.  Even though not long and on opposite sides of the globe, your kindness will not soon be forgotten. 
Such good memories ... we love the Denny family. 

Sis. Denny was a true servant.  Her sweet spirit blessed our lives in the years she was our Pastors wife!  We’ve shared many laughs and times of great fun.  She left a beautiful thumbprint on our lives and we are grateful.  We love the Denny family!!

I will always remember her beautiful smile and her hard work when there was work that needed to be done, she got it done. She was my first Regional Director's wife when we came into Missions as Missionaries to Australia/Solomon Islands. She was a friend from the very first day we met. Truly she has earned her crown and thankfully she will never have to be in Pain no more.  Bro Denny and family my heart goes out to all of  you and please know we will hold you all up in prayer. Just rejoice she is shining that beautiful smile all over heaven. We love you and will always have you in our hearts.
 God bless 
Carole Terry

There has never been a sweeter, kinder person than Sister Coral Denny. During many years of working with her at the UPCI headquarters, I was always greeted with a hug and a smile. One particular memory....During the passing of the mantle service at general conference one year they were giving out mantles. Brother Haney  gave them to the ministers and ministers' wives and told them to find ministers and ministers' wives to give them to. I was so disappointed. While I very much worked in full-time ministry, I was not licensed. As I started to leave the auditorium, Sister Denny stopped me with one mantle left in her hand. "Sister Lisa, God wants you to have this one. You are very important to Him and to the Kingdom". My eyes filled with tears as she hugged me and prayed over me and my ministry. Sister Denny, I've never forgotten your words and the mantle is on display in my bedroom. I see it every day and it reminds me that God's hand is upon my life. You will be missed sweet lady but we will meet again one day.

Fond memories of a very sweet and Godly lady.  I visited CBC when Coral and Richard were dating (as far as any Bible College students could afford), they made a powerful couple at all times.  God’s very best to the entire family.

To know Sister Denny was to love her.   When she walked in a room, peace walked in with her . . . . And she was practical.  I remember sharing how I was going to Sam’s Club and picking up large catering size kitchen utensils for the Bible College kitchen.   She looked at me and said with that sweet way of hers, “You’re not going to do all the cooking for the Bible College are you?”   I said, “actually yes, I was planning on it.”    She said, “No Sister Robyn, you don’t need to do that, you have too many other things to do.  Leave it to someone that can give all their time to it.”    Always wise, always loving, always a friend.   I loved her so much and it was always an honor to have her in our home on those few occasions.  I will hug her again, when we meet around the throne.

The Heavens declare, and earthen vessels impact not only their circle of influence on earth, but also in Heaven. Cornelius had this even recorded about his life; “Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.” Paul wrote about earthen vessels having a treasure inside, in that a yielded human can reflect the very image of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The scriptures also speak of these as vessels of Mercy, and vessels of Honor. Bro and Sis Denny’s lives will not only be remembered in human history or world history. They have impacted the Kingdom of God and I am confident are a memorial before God, reflected in that glorious Heaven. 

I first met the Denny’s when we were appointed at the same conference to the mission field. We shared several School of Missions together.  A precious lady. 

On behalf of my wife and myself, I just want to say that Sis. Denny was an incredible lady of God. 
I will always cherish the 4 1/2 years that we spent working with the Denny’s in Lynwood, WA. 
Sis. Denny was like a mom to my wife and I and she was a grandmother to our girls. 
She will be missed, but thankful that we have the hope of seeing her again on the other side. 
Till we meet again, RIP Sis. Denny
