Denise Ware Obituary
Denise was a devoted and loving mother to Vanessa (Ryan) Howard, Jasmine Foster, and Courtney Mason. She was a cherished sister to Alphonso (Jennifer) Bonner, Leonardo (Stephanie) Ware, and Yvonne Porch. She was also a proud grandmother to Journee Moreland and RyLee Howard, who brought her immense joy. Denise is further survived by her loving nieces and nephews.
Denise found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed bowling, shopping with her children, and playing spades-especially with her favorite partner, Stephanie Ware. Above all, she treasured time spent with her family and took great pride in caring for her mother, Gloria, whom she loved dearly.
A memorial service to honor Denise's life will be held on December 29, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Metropolitan Baptist Church, 22 Sampsonia Way, Pittsburgh, PA 15212.
Denise will be remembered for her loving heart, her dedication to family, and the warmth she shared with all who knew her.
