Dennis Connally Obituary
TROY - Dennis M. Connally, 57, of Troy, passed on May 14, 2025, at the Albany Medical Center, after a courageous battle with glioblastoma. Born in Troy, he was the son of Karen Sorensen Connally and the late Thomas C. Connally; and the husband of Deanna Caruso Connally. Dennis was a graduate of Catholic Central High School, Class of '86. He was a retired corrections officer for Rensselaer County, and served for 25 dedicated years.
Dennis was an avid sports fan, a "foodie," and would consider being in the pool with his kids a perfect day. His favorite time was the annual family trip to Cape Cod, which he loved the most.
Survivors, in addition to his mother, include his wife of 25 years, Deanna Caruso Connally; children, Chloe Connally (Skylar) and Cole Connally; brothers, Tim Connally (Suzy) and Tom Connally (Stephanie); sister, Maureen Byrne (Dan); sister-in-law, Lynn Perry (Keith); and nieces and nephews, Jake Connally (Sammie), Lucas Connally, Casey Byrne, Sarah Zedar (Blake), Brody Connally and Abigail Connally.
Friends are invited to Frank P. McDonald & Son Funeral Home at 870 Second Avenue (124th and 125th Streets), on Monday, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, at 10:00 a.m., at St. Augustine's Church in Lansingburgh.
Contributions to the Lansingburgh Boy's & Girl's Club, 501 4th Ave., Troy, N.Y. 12182.

My dear friend Karen, my heart aches for you and the rest of your family. You are all in my prayers, every day. I pray that you will be strong. Dennis's suffering is over, he is resting now. If he could speak to you, i know that he would say something like ,come on guys don't be sad for me,Dad and I are together. It is even better here than we were taught to believe it would be. Don't worry, I am happy.

To the entire Connolly Family, my heart is heavy in hearing of Dennis´s passing. Even though Dennis was Timmy´s "little brother," he was always part of the troupe. Where Timmy was, Dennis was...and if Timmy wasn´t there-Dennis was still included. Everyone loved him! So lovely and pleasant, it was a pleasure to know him. My prayers to you all, and to everyone he meant so much to. Rest in Peace, Dennis. GOD Bless
