Irving Douglas Senn Sr.

Irving Douglas Senn Sr., a native of Troy, Alabama, passed away on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, surrounded by his family. Funeral services will be on Monday, May 8, 2023, at 12:00 pm at Green Hills Memorial Cemetery with Rev. Perry Green officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the graveside service.
Irving grew up in Pike County and worked for the city of Troy as a lineman for over 44 years and moved up to crew supervisor before retiring in 2005.  He began working for the city in 1960 and two years later was repairing a streetlight and got too close to a live wire. He was burned over half of his body and spent the next year in recovery and was back on the job.  In his free time, he had a tree trimming service and enjoyed spending time outside on his farm too.  He raised cows and always had a garden.  Irving was a collector; he collected coins, pocket watches, and several sets of fine China.  He always stayed busy and was loved by many.
Loving survivors include his beloved wife of 58 years, Suzanne Qualls Senn; son, Doug Senn (Leyla Riquelme); daughter, Ashley Smith (Stacy); grandchildren, Grayson Senn, Carsyn Smith, and Anagayle Senn; as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Hume and Eula Mae Price Senn; sister, Margene Hanchey; and brothers, Don Senn and Edmund Senn.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Lung Association or your favorite charity. 
The staff of Green Hills Funeral Home is honored to serve the Senn family.
