Denise Fitzpatrick, a selfless and loving soul, passed away on November 21, 2024, due to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Born on October 26, 1965, in Philadelphia, Denise was a beacon of generosity and warmth to all who knew her.
Denise was a beloved daughter to Mary J. Fitzpatrick and Michael J. Fitzpatrick. She is also survived by her sisters, Maureen (Nick) and Mary, and brother, Michael (Angel).
A graduate with a passion for healing, Denise dedicated her professional life to the art of massage therapy. She worked at Healing Hands and Express Spa, where her skilled touch provided comfort and relief to countless individuals. Her commitment to the well-being of others was evident in every aspect of her work, and her presence at Healing Hands was a source of tranquility and healing.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Denise found peace and joy working in her garden. Her home was a sanctuary for her beloved cats, and her culinary skills were a gift she generously shared with friends and family.
Described as selfless, loving, and generous, Denise's legacy is one of kindness and compassion. Her interests were an extension of her nurturing spirit, and those who knew her were often touched by her boundless capacity to give.
Denise's memory will be cherished and kept alive through the stories and memories shared by her loved ones. Her life was a testament to the power of giving, and her spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have felt her touch.
As we bid farewell to Denise Fitzpatrick, we celebrate a life that was lived with purpose and grace. She will be profoundly missed, but the love she spread will forever be felt in the hearts of those she touched.

It´s hard to find the right words to express the depth of my gratitude and sorrow. You were not only an incredible massage therapist, but also a trusted friend and confidant. Your kindness, wisdom, and gentle spirit made such a difference in my life, and I will carry those gifts with me always.

Thank you for the healing you provided, not just through your hands, but through your heart. You will be deeply missed, but your memory and the impact you had on me will never fade.

To Denise´s family, I offer my deepest condolences. I feel like I know all of you through my conversations with Denise. She loved you all so much. I wanted so badly to be at the services today to meet you in person , but I could not attend. Please know that she always talked about you and it was so obvious how much you all meant to her. My heart breaks for all of you.

Rest in peace my beautiful friend. I will never forget you.

I am so shocked and sad to hear about Denise. I was scheduled to see her early in December because she had texted me she would be out on Leave. She took such good care of me and listened to all my issues patiently. Never made me feel like I was taking up too much of her time. We would chat a bit before I left and it was obvious this wasn't just a job to her .. she truly cared about her people and helping them to feel better. My sincere condolences to her family, friends and her Healing Hands family... she will be missed!

I wasn´t able to go as regularly as I would like to get massages, but upon moving to Media 10 years ago (from NYC), my good friend Angie shared about Denise and her incredible gifting as a massage therapist. She implored me to go and book an appointment with her, which I eventually did. It only took one visit for me to understand my friend´s experience and to request Denise every time I saved up for a massage. Denise had a true gift and such a caring, kind presence. You could feel her care as she worked her craft and her intentionality ahead of each session made you feel so special. It´s perfect she worked at a place called Healing Hands. She made a difference in this world and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all who worked with and called her a friend.
