Obituary

Mr. Melvin O'Neil Denny was born to the late John Hughie and Helen White Denny in Caldwell County, NC.  He departed this earthly life on Saturday April 15, 2023, at his residence, with his loving wife by his side.   Melvin - affectionately known as "Bub" - received his education in the Caldwell County School System and worked as a factory worker in the furniture mill for many years.  He was of the Baptist faith and an avid Tarheel and Washington Redskins fan.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one daughter Tonya Johnson; brothers Duncan Denny, William "Butch" Denny, and James Denny; sister Patsy Denny, and two grandchildren.

Left to mourn his transition but honor his precious memories of life are his beloved wife Linda Norwood Denny of the home; son Derrick Logan (Shannon) of Lenoir, daughters Lisa Norwood and Lana Norwood both of Lenoir, Lori Wilkins (Lonnie) of Sallisaw, OK, Lynn Dula (Harlan) of Charlotte, NC, and Cherrkia Millsaps of Lenoir; siblings Linda Sue Denny, Norma Jean Petty (David), and Terry Denny (Virginia);  fourteen grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

A funeral service will be held Saturday April 22, 2023 at 12 noon at Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church with Rev. James "Ike" Perkins serving as the officiant and eulogist; the family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
