Chancey Ernest Yenny passed away on March 19, 2021, at the age of 84. He will be remembered as a loving and generous man who always had a smile on his face.
Chancey was born in Shell, Wyo., on July 3, 1936. He lived there until he enlisted in the Navy at the age of 16. During his eight years in the service, he had quite a few adventures and saw many parts of the world. He worked in the boiler room on a battleship, and was on the U.S.S. Boston during the Bay of Pigs Invasion in Cuba.
For nearly 58 years, Chancey was married to the love of his life - Lenny. They met while he was stationed in Boston, Mass. A friend set them up on a blind date, and it turned out to be a perfect match. They tied the knot a year later.
