Celebrating the life of
Carolyn Canady DeNitto

She was a lifelong resident of Savannah and was preceded in death by her husband, Paul John DeNitto; her daughter, Donna Marie Burns; and her grandson, Zachary Paul Burns. Born on June 25, 1932, she was the daughter of Maggie Lou and Levant Canady. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by six of her nine siblings. Carolyn was a homemaker, loving wife, mother, and grandmother, and dedicated her life to her family.
Survivors include daughters, Patty (Jim) Hildreth and Joan (Dave) Roberts; son-in-law Mark Burns; grandchildren, Matt (Paula) Dillon, Maggie and Emily Burns, and Beau and Jake Roberts. Carolyn was also survived by her brother, Ronnie (Joyce) Canady; and sisters, Joan Jackson and Virginia Carlyle; as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A private graveside service will be held.
Patty and Joan would like to thank the staff of Azalealand for their compassionate care during our mother’s last days. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in her honor to Hospice of Savannah.
Family and friends are encouraged to share memories of Carolyn on the online guest book.
Patty, It's been many years since we've run into each other around town, but I've never forgotten our childhood when you and your family lived across the lane from us. Y'all were on East 66th. Street and we were on Brandywine Road. Nor have I forgotten your mother, and am so sorry for your loss. She was a lovely woman. One memory stands out from back in the 1960s: One night your parents loaded up the car with you, Donna and a few of us kids from the neighborhood to ride out to Backus Cadillac-Pontiac so your mother could look at new Pontiacs on the lot. I seem to recall she drove a snazzy two-door model shortly afterwards. May her memory be a blessing and comfort to you and your family, now and always.

I am so sorry to hear about Carolyn. May we all look forward to the time when God will take away sickness and even death. We can be confident that this will be fulfilled because God always keeps his promises. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”- Rev 21:4
