Dennis J. "Denny" Conley (Ret. WFD), 76 of Warwick, passed away on Friday, February 10, 2025, at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence. He was the devoted husband of Sandra Lee (Pike) Conley, with whom he shared many wonderful memories.
Born on April 10, 1948, in Providence, he was the son of the late James and Veronica (Hassel) Conley. Denny dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving as a firefighter with the Warwick Fire Department.
He found joy in life's simple pleasures-whether watching NASCAR, restoring his '67 Ford Galaxie, enjoying a peaceful nap, or watching classic westerns. Above all, he cherished the time spent with his grandchildren.
Denny is survived by his wife, Sandy; his children, Scott Conley of Warwick and Kerri Sheldon and her husband Mark of North Attleboro, MA; and his beloved grandchildren, Emma and Jack. He was predeceased by his three brothers, James, Robert, and Kevin Conley.
At the family's request, all services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Denny's memory to the East Greenwich Animal Protection League, 44 Worthington Rd, Cranston, RI 02910.
