Denise Rose James

We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of Denise Rose James on January 17, 2026. Denise was born in Manchester, NH on September 1, 1960 and attended Manchester schools. She had a deep love for the seasons of New Hampshire and found peace and happiness by the ocean, Lake Winnipesaukee, and the White Mountains. Denise carried her New England roots in her heart throughout her life. She later made her home in Orlando where she created countless memories with friends and family, especially Sunday morning coffee time. She was a devoted member of Blessed Trinity Catholic Church.

Denise also enjoyed traveling, particularly going on cruises with family and friends. For the last 18 years, she worked for PlanSource as a Sr. Director. She will be remembered for her loving heart, her strength, her kindness, and her unwavering devotion to those she cared about. Denise’s memory will live on in the stories shared and the traditions she helped create.

Denise is survived by her mother, Claire Desruisseaux; her sister, Joanne Desruisseaux; her brother, Michael Desruisseaux; Bruno, her beloved dog; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. She is pre-deceased by her father, Armand “Moe” Desruisseaux.

A funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 11:00 am at Blessed Trinity Catholic Church, 4545 Anderson Road, Orlando, FL.
