Denise M. Demmitt
Denise loved her family, near and far. Denise adored her wife, Jules, to whom she was partnered with for 28 years. Denise was a loving mother to Taylor and Elisabeth, and she took so much joy in being their Mom. Her family loved her fun, playful spirit. She always made life an adventure. She is deeply missed by Jules, Tay, Lissie, and her two dogs Gio and Luna.
Denise had two careers that she was very passionate about. She was a chef and a lawyer. Denise would often share her love of cooking with family and friends. Her dinner parties were epic. As a lawyer, she was a powerful advocate for her clients and had a charismatic style in the courtroom. She was a fighter.
Denise was a loyal friend and generous to all. She was extremely optimistic and had a joy for life, which she shared with everyone she met. She was the life of the party and had vivacious energy.
Afterglow
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times, and laughing times, and bright, sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun, of happy memories that leave when life is done.

I remember Denise from law school. She was smart as a whip and funny! I had the pleasure of hanging out with Denise during our time at school and knew she was going to be a great advocate and attorney. She was also just a very deep and kind soul. My deepest condolences to her family.
Denise was the attorney that helped my family in crisis. She was a bright light that shined in and our of the courthouse. Her enthusiasm for life and her desire to help everyone was contagious. Denise not only had a huge heart but she was wicked smart. I am so sad to hear that she passed and my condolences to her family, Denise was a great lady.
My cousin was quite a character, and when we’d visit, we’d brainstorm–there was a fresh storm from her every couple of minutes, lol.
Her enthusiasm for life had no bounds.
Like us all, she was imperfect, but I can say this unequivocably, she cared about people and I’m sure, most of all her clients. Love you and miss you cuz, Scott
I met Denise at a bakery in Columbus. I was with my partner and we both were drawn to her. We knew immediately that she was a force to be reckoned with, in other words a badass. She told us she was an attorney and in town for a hearing. Defense attorney. Of course she was. We Facebooked friended and I have kept up with her posts ever since. She talked about her family with pride. My condolences to you all.
