Denise Seavey Obituary

Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
Denise Seavey, 72, of Santa Fe, passed away peacefully at home on October 15, 2025, surrounded by her family. She bravely fought ovarian cancer for nine years with faith, grace, and unwavering trust in the Lord.

Born August 1, 1953, in Albuquerque, Denise was the eldest of four children. She studied special education and worked as a teacher before devoting herself to her greatest joy - raising her family. She shared her deep love for Jesus Christ through music, ministry, mentoring, and a lifetime of prayer for others.

Denise is survived by her husband of 49 years, Knight Seavey; her mother, Barbara Volk; her children, Drew (Cathy) Seavey and Erin (Adam) Sparkman; three grandchildren; and three brothers. She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Volk.

A service celebrating Denise's life will be held at First Baptist Church Santa Fe on Saturday, November 1, at 11:00 AM.
