Dennis Leigh Terpening of Doylestown, PA and formerly of Ijamsville, MD, died peacefully on Monday, August 31, 2020 surrounded by his loving family. He was 80 years old.
Denny was the beloved husband to Mary Regina (Popp) Terpening with whom he celebrated 60 years of marriage.
Born on the family farm in Roseboom, NY, Denny was the son of the late Charles and Bertha (Brodie) Terpening.
While in the Navy, Denny was assigned to the National Security Agency of Ft. Meade, MD. This led to a long career in the computer sciences, working for the US Government and in private industry.

Denny was exceptionally devoted to and proud of his children and grandchildren.
