In Memory of Deneen: A Loving Tribute

Donation protected
In loving memory of Deneen J. Rolon (April 19, 1964 - April 25, 2025). After a courageous battle with stage 4 lung cancer, Deneen peacefully passed away, surrounded by the love of her family.

For many years, Deneen worked as a waitress, where her vibrant personality allowed her to connect with countless people, many of whom became cherished friends and extended family. Life presented its challenges, and like many, Deneen navigated difficult choices throughout her adult years. However, these struggles never overshadowed her inherent warmth, her fierce loyalty, and the deep love she held for her friends and family.

Deneen was known for her spunky spirit, her feisty nature, and yes, that unforgettable smart mouth! But beneath it all was a heart that loved unconditionally and fiercely. Those who knew her from her years as a waitress know she had a way of making everyone feel like family, and she built a chosen family along the way. She had a remarkable ability to connect with people. Her regulars and colleagues became an extension of her family, and she cherished those relationships deeply. While she navigated the complexities of life, her caring nature and loving heart always shone through.

She leaves behind her brother Jerry, cousin Raeline, her children Elaine, Michael, and Jessica, a son in law Pedro, loving ex-husband Francisco, ten adored grandchildren Justin, Julian, Jaiden, Natalie, Jaxon, Harmony, Josiah, Elaine, Skyler, and Mia, and one precious great-granddaughter, Kaitlyn.

Unfortunately, Deneen did not have a life insurance policy to cover the costs associated with her cremation and final arrangements. As a family, we are reaching out for support to give her the dignified send-off she deserves.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will be deeply appreciated and will help us honor Deneen's life and the love she shared so freely. Thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time!
