Denise is survived by her cherished wife, Debbie Forte; her loving sister, Cindy and brother-in-law John Gambino; her nephews Rocco and the late Gino Gambino; dear friend Tania, and her aunts, uncles, and many cousins.

Denise graduated from Pennsauken High School with honors. She furthered her education at Hahnemann University as a Psychologist and graduated Top 10 on the Dean's List. Later Denise went on to become a Registered Nurse.  Denise loved spending time with her nephews, especially when they were young. She loved taking them to amusement parks, water parks and just hanging out and always being the funny and "COOL" Aunt, that they loved being with. Denise always had the strongest love for animals, especially her chihuahuas, Molly, Frisky, Otto, and Gigi, and of course, her wife's dog, Tony. Denise loved spending time with Collin, who she met when adopting her dog, Gigi. Collin brought such joy to her life.

Denise's best times were always spent at home, relaxing with her dogs and wife, Debbie. She loved when her sister and friend Tania would hang out and spend quality time together.
