It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Denise Hamilton, who left us peacefully on October 30, 2025, in Auburndale, Florida. Born on June 4, 1961, in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Denise earned her master’s degree in education and dedicated herself to nurturing the minds and spirits of young children as a pre-kindergarten teacher.
