She was preceded in death by her parents; Maude McGee Stallings and Francis Andy Stallings, Sr.; brothers, Francis Andy Stallings, Jr., Cecil Morris Stallings (Gladys), Willie G. Stallings (Maxine) , infant twins Toy and Joy Stallings; sisters, Jimmie Stallings Holdridge (Thornton), and Inez Stallings Powell (Oren).

Dennie was born September 10, 1929, in DeKalb County, Alabama. She graduated from Tuscaloosa High School in 1947. She began working at BF Goodrich and later decided to return to school and graduated from Livingston University. She immediately began a career that lasted 24 years with the University of Alabama as Admissions Director of the Graduate School, an institution she was so proud to be a part of. She was a member of Skyland Baptist Church and the former Hopewell Baptist Church. She loved her Lord, her Church and her Church Family where she faithfully attended and served in numerous areas until her health would not allow. She was a great cook and gracious hostess to all who entered her home, a loving caregiver to many family members, and a friend to all. With her contagious smile she looked for the good in all and was affectionately called “Aunt Dennie” by many.
Pallbearers will be her nephews and friends. Honorary pallbearers are the nurses and staff at Heritage Healthcare and Capstone Retirement Village who were wonderful caregivers. Also her loving caregivers Kwana DeLa Perriere and Myra Jackson, members of Skyland Baptist Church, members of the former Hopewell Baptist Church, and friends and employees of The University of Alabama Graduate School.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials to Skyland Baptist Church, 3320 Skyland Blvd. E. Tuscaloosa Al., or one’s favorite charity.
