Denise A. McHale, 61 of West Nyack, NY passed suddenly on October 14, 2024 at home after a long and difficult struggle with cancer. Her determination to win this battle was undeniable. Side effects from the various treatments took its toll and uplifted her to heaven.

Born in Yonkers and relocated to Tappan at two years of age, she was committed to Rockland County working in various salons, as well as nursing homes in her choice vocation of Cosmetology, mainly as a hairdresser. Her free spirit was always evident in her contacts with family and friends. She enjoyed cooking and the beauty of the seashore.

Denise is survived by her parents, Georgette and Richard McHale, brothers Robert (Sylvie), David, Gary and Richard, Jr. along with aunts and many cousins.

Denise will always be present in our Hearts, Forever Loved and Deeply Missed.

A Celebration of her Life will be held at a later date.
