Edna Wall Denny, age 73, of Clarkesville, Georgia went to be with the Lord on Monday, January 5, 2026.

A true lover of Jesus, Edna faithfully served her Lord throughout her life and was of the Baptist faith. In recent years, she attended Clayton Church of God, where she continued to grow in her walk with Christ. Edna was a devoted homemaker who found great joy in tending to her family and caring for her home. Her family was the most important part of her life, and she poured her heart into being a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Her grandchildren were a special joy to her, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She had a deep love for flowers and took great pleasure in planting and nurturing them, finding peace and happiness in God’s creation. Her favorite color, purple, reflected her gentle spirit and love for beauty. Edna was also a dedicated member, elder, and prayer warrior with Riders For Christ Motorcycle Ministry. Through this ministry, she touched countless lives with her unwavering faith, compassion, and powerful prayers.
