Dennis Duane Jenkins

Age 80 of Corunna was received into the arms of Jesus on Sunday, September 24, 2023 at Memorial Healthcare in Owosso.

Denny was born October 4, 1942 in Durand Michigan, to Althea (Hammond) Jenkins and adoptive father Lyle Jenkins. Denny was recently embraced by his newly discovered family who never stopped searching for him – the Black Family. He married Margaret Furister in Owosso on July 22, 1963.

He graduated from Corunna High School, class of 1960, and served in the U.S. Army. At 28-1/2 years of service in Quality Control, he retired from General Motors. He enjoyed the 17 years he and Margo lived in Florida but his heart always stayed with the University of Michigan, Detroit Tigers, and his family.

Denny enjoyed studying the Bible, talking about his faith and playing softball. Denny is quoted as saying “the ultimate success in my life is having Jesus as my Lord, and Margo as my wife”. He was an active member at the First Church of the Nazarene.

Denny is survived by his most beloved wife of 60 years, Margo (Furister) Jenkins; three children, Lisa (Donnie Ray) Maddox, Kimberly (Jeffrey) Confer, and Chris Jenkins; his sister, Marilyn Lagrange; many grandchildren, and uncle William Black, nieces and nephews, 42 first cousins; an abundance of other loving family members, and many many dear friends.

Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday, September 27 th at 2:00 p.m. at Owosso First Church of the Nazarene with Mark Greene officiating. The family will receive friends preceding the service from 12:00- 2:00 p.m. A luncheon will follow the service.
