Obituary published on Legacy.com by Perry Funeral Home, Inc. on Jan. 16, 2026.
Denise Dennison, 78, of Inwood, New York, passed away on January 16, 2026. She was born on October 1, 1947.

Her life revolved entirely around those she loved. She was a loving mother to her children Colleen Ecker and Brian Dennison, and son-in-law Kevin Ecker. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to 3 beautiful granddaughters, Katie, Ella and Charlotte Ecker who brought her great joy.

Denise was predeceased by her brother Edward McDonnell and sister Maureen McDonnell. Maureen and Denise took every opportunity to travel, relax at the beach and to celebrate life together. Denise is at peace joining her brother, sister and parents, Florence and Edward in Heaven.

She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered by all who were blessed to love her. Her legacy of love, strength, and family will live on through the generations she so dearly cherished.

In lieu of flowers the family would greatly appreciate memorial contributions be made to:

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at https:giving.mskcc.org
