Denise Lauchland Hensley Obituary
Denise was preceded in death by her beloved husband, LeRoy Hensley Jr. Together they built a life rooted in love, family, and faith in each other. She is survived by her three sons, Mathew Hensley, Jedidiah Hensley, and Samuel Hensley, who carry forward the values and love and family first she instilled in them.
Denise lived a life defined by devotion to her family and a deep appreciation for the simple joys around her. She found happiness in working hard, spending time outdoors, and especially in family camping trips to Silver Lake-one of her favorite places. Her warmth, strength, and love will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, and friend whose life was a testament to resilience, dedication, and joy in the everyday moments.
Her family and friends will cherish her memory and life forever.
A celebration of life will take place September 7th at Wine and Roses from 11am to 3pm.

Cousin Denise Lauchland Hensley was my best friend when I had a tire blowout & had a year to recover. She showed me the gym & would drop by to visit, as she drove home from work as a Tax Advisor. It was great to hear of her 3 sons.

I met Denise through my Husband Marcos Taylor, she and I shared the same Birthday in March. Denise did our taxes and we had great laughs talking about Marcos & LaRoy as she would call her husband. She was so proud of her Son´s and Cherished her Grand children. May she rest in peace with our Lord and Savior and May her friends and family have comfort knowing she is in his loving arms.

I knew Denise back in the early 70's.
What I will never forget about her was how absolutely beautiful she was on her wedding day when she and Leroy married.
