Delores Coy Denny

Delores Tuten Coy Denny passed away in her sleep on Saturday, May 6, 2017, after battling various illnesses over the last few years.  Delores was of the Catholic faith.  She was born in Savannah on October 23, 1953, to John C. Tuten and Marjorie Taylor Tuten and was a lifelong resident of Savannah, GA.  She graduated from Cathedral Day School in 1967 and from St. Vincent's Academy in 1971.  While at St. Vincent's, Delores was a proud, 4 year member of the Chorale, as well as the Senior Choir, served on Student Council, and was Class Secretary.  She went on to graduate from Memorial Medical Center's School of Radiologic Technology in 1973.  Delores' successful career as a Radiologic Technologist spanned many years here in Savannah.  She also attended Central Carolina Community College in Sanford, NC, where she obtained her license as a certified Esthetician.  She then enjoyed working for several spas in the Savannah area as an Esthetician.



Delores was fearless, adventurous and loved to travel the world.  She also especially loved and was devoted to her faithful canine companions over the years:  Petey, Bromo, Buckwheat and Maddie.  Her sense of humor, gift of story-telling, and her fun-loving spirit will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege to know and love her.
