BERLIN — Kathleen Anne Canfield (Kathy), 75, departed this life Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022, to be in Jesus‘s presence.
Kathy succumbed to pneumonia at Atlantic General Hospital, surrounded by family. Born Feb. 20, 1946 in Washington, Pa. to Frank and Rose Magnone, she was preceded in death by them in 2015 and by her only sibling, Cindy Magnone Burke, in 1993.
Kathy grew up in Washington, Pa., graduating from Trinity High School in 1963. She married Ronald E. Canfield in 1964 and gave birth to their one and only son, Robert Paul Canfield, in 1966. After Ronald’s passing in 1969, Kathy went to work for Host International (Marriott) as a bookkeeper and later a trainer and general manager.
Hospitality was not only her vocation, but her life’s passion. From 1992-1999 Kathy helped take care of — and raise — her grandchildren, Joya, Josiah and Amara. And, from 2000-2010 she fostered at-risk children, adopting one of them, Anthony Hall. In the last seven years, she so enjoyed being “Nana” to her great grandson, Hodja.
Kathy was a patriot and history aficionado who spent her time reading, sewing and crocheting, and she enjoyed sharing these hobbies and interests with her loved ones.
Due to a chronic condition, Kathy had been residing at the Berlin Nursing Home since 2017. While there, she became the residents’ representative at board meetings, looking out for their welfare. She’ll be remembered by many for her quick smile, playful and witty sense of humor and welcoming spirit.

Jeffery L. Dennis
SLAUGHTER BEACH, Del. – On Feb. 21, 2022, Jeffery L. Dennis peacefully passed away at his residence in Slaughter Beach, Del.
He was born on Sept. 1, 1951, in York, Pa. to the late Kurvin and Mildred Dennis.
Jeffery L. Dennis
Jeff loved life best at the beach. His dream to live by the sea was accomplished first in Ocean City, Maryland, and then at Slaughter Beach, Delaware. Teaching his children and grandchildren to fish, boat, and surf was the “best of times.”
Jeff was a proud bulldog, graduating from West York High School, Class of 1969. Always “bulldog proud,” he enjoyed his 50th class reunion in 2019.
Jeff started Dennis Antiques in 1973 in York, Pa. He was known for his repairs and refinishing of fine furniture in many states. A good day was finding a treasure sitting along the road or buying a steal at one of the many auctions he attended. Another love was “flipping houses,” long before it was a television show.
Jeff is survived by his wife of 50 years, Laurie Dennis (nee Weaver); his son, Jason Dennis and his wife Courtney; his daughter, Amy Gerhart and her fiancé Chad Van Laeys; his grandchildren, Rowan, Sawyer and Wyatt Dennis and Charlotte Gerhart; and his two beloved dogs, Tillie and Jack Henry.
May he always have seashells in his pocket and sand in his shoes until we join him at his new fishing hole.
Services will be held at a later date.
