Poland Twp -- Private services celebrating the life of Denise Marie Hall were held.
Denise was born on January 2, 1967, in Youngstown, the daughter of the late Daniel Whittingham and Sally (Kusmack) Whittingham. Denise Marie Hall brought joy and warmth to everyone, fortunate enough to know her. On January 12, 2026, Denise's vibrant spirit took flight, leaving behind a legacy of love and memories that will be cherished forever.
Denise dedicated her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her family. A proud homemaker, she filled her home with laughter, delicious meals, and a sense of community that made everyone feel welcome. Her infectious laughter and generous heart made her the glue that held family and friends together.
Denise is survived by her loving mother, Sally Whittingham, of Lowellville and her cherished siblings: Michelle Bayus and her husband Ron of Knoxville, TN, Debra Melillo and her husband Jerry of Lowellville, and Daniel Whittingham of Lowellville. Together, they formed a close-knit family bonded by the love and memories they shared. She is also survived by four nieces and a nephew and a great niece.
Remember and celebrate the beautiful life of Denise Marie Hall, a true believer in love, laughter, and the magic of family. Her memory will live on in our hearts, guiding us as we navigate life with the same love she shared so freely.
