Denise Childers Stonesifer, 70, passed away peacefully on December 27, 2025, in Westminster, Maryland. Born in Michigan and raised in Kentucky, she learned early the values of family, responsibility, and compassion. Denise devoted her life to caring for others — first her siblings, then her children, grandchildren, and finally the residents she served for 24 years as a nurse. A woman of faith, music, and gentle humor, she loved gardening, quilting, and family games. Denise is survived by her daughters, siblings, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and will be remembered for her strength, kindness, and generous heart.
