Denise Latella

d. February 18, 2026

Please join us to celebrate the life of Denise Latella, who dedicated her life to the care of children and animals and to her friends and family. Denise’s love of children was evident through her whole life, and she devoted many years to early childhood education and care. She got great joy from seeing children enjoy new experiences, and she always brought new sensory and educational toys to her great-nieces and nephews. She also loved each of her cats dearly, including Petey, George, Little Cat and Anabara, and they were her constant companions as she watched old movies and British television programmes.

Denise was a special daughter, sister and aunt. She is lovingly remembered by her sisters Phyllis and Carolyn and her brother John, her brothers- and sister-in-law Richie, Vinnie and Debbie, her nieces and nephews, Alison, Michael, Rachel, Aimee, Melissa, Lauren and Kaitlyn, their partners, and all of Denise’s great nephews and nieces.
