Denise Cohen Obituary
A California woman who loved traveling and country music is among those killed in the attack on the Route 91 Harvest country music festival.
Denise Cohen, a 58-year-old Santa Barbara resident, attended the concert with 56-year-old Derrick “Bo” Taylor, her boyfriend. Both were killed Sunday in the attack that killed 58 and wounded more than 520.
Cohen was a huge country music fan and loved attending concerts, her sister-in-law Kelli Gentile said Wednesday. She had been excitedly posting updates on social media about the event.

How you can show support

Denise was born to her mother MaryAnn at Eden Hospital August 2, 1959 where I named her Denise Marie Freed. She was the first joy in my life as a mother. I spent my every moment of the day enjoying my baby girl. She will always be the first joy in my life as her mother. She left this world as a mother and daughter and sister to Gordon Jr. and Danielle the family who loved her and will always keep her in their hearts forever. To my loving daughter I say good by and you are now in God's hands. He is gentle and loving and will always care for you with his greatest love for you. My love goes with you. Always Mom, MaryAnn
