Jerry Lee Dennie of Athens, Texas, age 65, was born on June 22, 1952 and was welcomed in Heaven on February 11, 2018. Jerry was a great husband, father, brother, son, friend, and Gramps.
Throughout the years, Jerry’s faith in God was evident in the way he raised his children, the way he loved his family and friends, and the way he treated people in general. Jerry was the definition of a hardworking provider, working tirelessly to take care of his wife and three girls. He had a true servant’s heart. Anyone could ask him for anything, and he’d never say no. Jerry served our country as a member of the U.S. Army. Golf became a passion of his and every opportunity he would get, he would enjoy some healthy competition with his golf companions out on the golf course.
Jerry is preceded in death by his father, Alvie Lee Dennie. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Nancy Dennie; mother Agnes Dennie; daughter Christy Hairgrove and husband Lonnie, daughter Nikki Mason and husband Gary, daughter Lindy Billings and husband Chris; grandchildren Justin, Cameron, Emily, Joshua, Aiden; brothers and sisters Danny Dennie, Mary Shoemake, Billy Dennie, Alvie Lee Dennie II, Joe David Dennie, Debbie Pittman; many nieces and nephews and extended family members; and many friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.
A memorial service to celebrate the life Jerry led and the memories made will be held at Trinity Baptist Church at 401 TX State Highway 274, Trinidad, Texas 75163 on Saturday, March 10, 2018 at noon with Bro. Tom Bolton officiating.
A small meal will be provided following the service to allow family and friends to reminisce and fellowship together.
