Dennis Robert Ogilvie was born on November 29, 1947, in Minneapolis, Minn., to Robert and Evelyn (Rynchek) Ogilvie. Denny grew up in Richfield and graduated from Washburn High School in 1965. Following his graduation, he proudly served his country in the United States Army. Upon his honorable discharge, Denny returned to Minnesota.
On August 31, 1973, he married Linda Knowles in Edina, Minn. Together, they raised their family in Maple Lake. Denny’s career as a welder was marked by his self-employment with Ogilvie Enterprises.
In retirement, Denny and Linda found solace in the quiet beauty of Nashwauk, where he enjoyed the joys of nature, particularly hunting, fishing and trapping. His connection with the outdoors was a testament to his adventurous spirit and love for the natural world. As his health began to decline, they returned to the area, making their home in Annandale.
