Mr. Dannie Nelson Cobb

Yanceyville, NC - It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of Mr. Dannie Nelson Cobb of 457 Wall St. Yanceyville, NC, who passed away on Wednesday, May 01, 2024, at his residence.

He was the son of the late George Hardin Cobb and Bessie Turner Cobb, born June 14, 1953. Dannie was a graduate of Bartlett Yancey High School class of 1971 and furthered his education receiving an associate degree in management from Rockingham Community College. He was an employee of UPS before retirement.

Dannie was a Member of Sassafras Grove Baptist Church, where he found his greatest joy in serving his church community. He faithfully served as an usher, member of the Male Chorus, Inspirational Choir, and the Senior Choir. His commitment to his faith was unwavering, and his love for God was evident in everything he did.

On July 29, 1978, Dannie entered Holy Matrimony with the love of his life, Penny Lea Cobb. Their union of 45 years was filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Together, they raised a beautiful family and shared a bond that was a shining example of God’s love. Dannie cherished spending time with his beloved family. He was a loving husband, a dedicated father, and a source of strength and support to all who knew him.

In his leisure time, Dannie found solace in the simplicity of nature. He loved nothing more than tending to his yard, meticulously cutting grass, and his home’s landscape. His green thumb and dedication to his home reflected his nurturing spirit and love for creation.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Levander Cobb, Alvis Cobb, and Donial Cobb (his twin); one sister, Omega “Pete” Totten.

He leaves to cherish his memories to his wife, Penny Lea Cobb; two daughters, Cherita S. Williams of Alaska, and Danya Cobb Diggs (Paul) of Blanch, NC; one son, Brandon Nelson Cobb (Jasmine) of Greensboro, NC; five grandchildren, Chloe Williams, Paul Diggs III, Zoey Diggs, Brandon Cobb Jr., and Jordan Cobb; four sisters, Gwen Harrelson (Stephen) of Reidsville, NC, Angela Cobb Graves (Joe) of Burlington, NC, Crystal Cobb Hall (Corey) of Reidsville, NC and Clementine Manley of Indiana; mother-in-law, Carolyn Lea of Blanch, NC; sisters-in-law, Wendy H. Lea-Walker (Dwight) of Raleigh, NC; Clara Frances Cobb of Reidsville, NC; nieces; nephews; two special lifelong friends of over fifty years, Casper Graves (Cathy) and Peggy Watlington (Fox) both of Reidsville, NC; and a host of other relatives, and friends whose lives he touched with his kindness, wisdom, and grace.
