Although we never met we perhaps share the bloodline, and your passion fir photography, was a scribe and a photographer for several publications.
My Grandfather was David DuVarney married to Marie, they lived in Worcester had a beauty shop with my dad Donald DuVarney, perhaps in the 50’s if I remember correctly.
Sorry to hear of your passing, until we meet, RIP 🙏 🕊
” Some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone.”
Rest well, Denise. You will be missed.
We have been friends since the beginning of school and many years after. I always looked forward to reconnecting with you and your family every summer. We had SO much fun together. You were magic behind the camera, but had the beauty and glow to be in front of it. I am crushed to be writing this for someone so young and full of life. There will be an empty place in our hearts and in the chair at Birdstock.
Jason and I love you.
Oh Niecy (as Grandpa B used to always call you since you were little)I guess I picked that up from him. What a special woman!
You always found something to smile about and so enjoyed your photography,so involved in so many opportunities to show others your talents. From the animals to your daughter and her sports,to senior pictures and especially the last days of your moms life. How beautiful and such a talent that will never be forgotten. I loved you so much and enjoyed the times we could share things and you always made me laugh. I will surely miss all that but will always have those memories to keep in my heart❤
Rest in peace angel😇
Denise was loved and she will be missed. May the family find comfort in the God she served.
Denise always had a grin or a smile on her face, whether she was doing something fun or going to get someone back for something they did to her. She always had time for a conversation with someone. Helped who ever she could, when she could. Had a huge heart of gold. She will be missed by all.

Denise, my friend from i can’t even remember when we actually met! We grew up together and you were an inspiration to me from the word “go”.. You welcomed me with open arms at every class reunion that i could make and always put a smile on my face from day one of us meeting! Being in your presence was my honor and i will always cherish your dreams and ambitions! I will miss crushing candy with you and taking pictures of each other like during our last gathering! you beyond words will be remembered and missed daily!! My thoughts and prayers are with your family which growing up was considered my family too! I love you, miss you and will forever be honored that you brightened my day and everyone around you even in the worst of times!!

I am going to miss you twin. I know its been quite sometime since we saw each other last. You will always hold a special place in my heart and my family’s. You are no longer hurting and I am sure you are getting some killer pics up there in heaven. Love you girl 💜
Denise , the free spirit of our family. She was so contagious. She would walk in a room and everyone present would catch the warm loving feeling she presented. She was so passionate about life just like her mother. She was the wild child you could not help but love and her sense of humor and explosive laugh made her such a joy to be around. Denise you gave so much of yourself to all of us and we will miss you so very much. Find peace in heaven now and your creative photography will inspire and be shared by those you blessed with your talent forever.
I am really going to miss this woman. Such an infectious laughter and personality. Taken way to soon but will never be forgotten!
Denise I will allows Remember you as a Ray of Sunshine. When ever I think about you the first thing that comes to my mind is your smile. We will hang out again someday in heaven. My condolences to all the family and friends.
Cathie, Dan, Mike, and girls;
I am so sorry for your loss. Denise was such a huge figure in the class of ’92, CHS, and had an amazing spirit. It continued through her daughters, and her lens. I’ve loved seeing purple and gold through the years after high school, and seeing upriver as an adult through her photography.
I cannot remember a time in my life I did not know her.
She will be missed.
Jamie
