Dennis Sheehan

Dennis Paul Sheehan, 69, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, was welcomed into eternal life and embraced by the Lord on June 25, 2010. He is the son of Ruth Sheehan and the late Paul Sheehan of Clarion, IA. Dennis was raised and educated in Clarion, IA, before moving to St. James, MN. He greatly enjoyed many warm summers and cold winters fishing on the lake in St. James. While he had much pleasure tending to his gardens and bird feeders, his true talents were found in his woodworking craftsmanship and unique ability to acquire many friends, particularly while operating his popcorn stand in the center of St. James. Dennis was a parishioner and former board member of the United Methodist Church and also served as a St. James Alderman. Dennis is survived by his mother Ruth, daughter Shelly Murray of Fairfield, CT, her husband Mark and cherished grandchildren Meghan, Sophie, Connor and Jack. He is also survived by his brothers and their spouses Nick and the late Linda, John and Candy, Mike and Cindy, his sisters and their spouses LaNora and Don Boggess, Jean and Ronald Brooks, Pauline Michels, Kathy Steen and many nieces and nephews. The family wished to extend a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful friends at the Mt. Lake and Windsor Nursing Homes for their care, compassion, and kindness during Dennis' later years. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (www.nationalmssociety.org) or Hospice Compassus of Cedar Falls (www.hospicecompassus.com).
