Berlin - Edna E. Dennis (92), of Berlin, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Friday, July 16, 2021. She was born on November 21, 1928, in Berlin, MD., the daughter of the late John W. and Bertha West. She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Walter J. Dennis, their son John and his wife Gayle of Little Valley, NY; daughter Denise Lane and her fiancé Tom Taylor of Berlin. She was an adored grandmother to Dennis and his wife Cortney; Kristopher, Lisa, Laura, John Jr., and his wife Heather; Patrick, Megan, Caitlin, and Zachary. She had 11 great-grandchildren that were very dear to her heart. Also, surviving are special "daughters", Mary Suzanne Dennis and Nancy Gadra. She loved her host of nieces and nephews, other family members, and many friends. As the last surviving child of John and Bertha, she was preceded in death by nine brothers and two sisters. She was also preceded in death by a grandson, Kevin, and her stepson, Mike Dennis.

Mrs. Dennis retired in 2006, after 36 years of service with the Worcester County Board of

Education. She would often see students in the community that fondly remembered her as the

"Lunch lady" at Berlin Intermediate School. She was a member of St. Martins Methodist Church and a devoted member of American Legion Auxiliary Unit 123, raising money for veterans with her special friend, Ann Orlando. She enjoyed reading the local newspapers on Friday mornings, red geraniums on her doorstep in the spring, Christmas, and visits with her dear friends and family.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the doctors, nurses, and other staff of Atlantic General Hospital and the staff of Amedisys Home Health Care for their care and compassion.
