Denise graduated from Agawam High School in 1989, and from Bay Path College in 1991, with a degree in Fashion Retail Merchandising.  She spent much of her career working in high end retail stores, and loved nothing more than bringing beauty to people’s lives through fashion.   She loved to travel to exotic places and see the world, and the beach was her happy place. 

Denise’s family would like to extend a special heart-felt thank you to Dr. Barbara Greco, as well as the staff at the Dialysis Center of Western Mass.  Denise always said that everyone needs the kind of care she received from Dr. Greco and we are endlessly thankful for her.
