MARY FRANCES DENBY
June 22, 1920 November 7, 2009
Mary Frances Denby devoted her life to her family. She was born to Ethel and Harry Blank in Lawrenceville, Illinois. Suffering from polio as a young child and living through the Depression, she was determined, practical and kind. On April 29, 1943, Mary Frances Blank married Donald William Denby. The next twenty years she spent keeping the family together as the wife of an Air Force officer. The values passed down from her mother, she passed down to her children: responsibility, duty, respect, compassion, and forgiveness. She taught us to smile and not be afraid to be the first to say hello. She was a Cub Scout and Girl Scout leader, a Sunday school teacher, hospital Grey Lady, and always involved in the church. Mary Frances touched many lives. She never lost her sparkle and graceful demeanor even through her later years suffering from dementia. Mary Frances Denby, always a lady.
Husband Donald W. Denby preceded her in death. She is survived her brother Harry Blank,, by son Bruce Denby, daughter Linda (Ray) Rowland , daughter Nancy (Skip) Fore; grandchildren Duke (Sara) Rowland, Mandy Rowland, Shawn (Ritsuko) Fore, Ryan (Jennifer) Fore; and great grandchildren Alex and Elora Rowland and Hayden Fore.
