Denease was an employee of ResCare of Morristown. She enjoyed birdwatching and spending time with friends, but her greatest joy came from simply being with her family.
Left to cherish her memory are her son and daughter-in-law, Cory and Myla Winland, and the light of her life, her grandson, Calvin Russell Winland; her mother, Judy Sleasman Saffell of Alledonia; siblings, Patty (Mike) Campbell of Cleveland, Judy Ring (Eddie Gibbons), of Somerton, Mary Saffell of Alledonia, Floyd (Karen) Saffell, Jr. of Beallsville, Joe Saffell of Powhatan, Dave Saffell of Alledonia, Brady (Debbie) Saffell of Tennessee, and Cindy (Mike) Young of Belmont; several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends.
Denease will be remembered by family and friends as a kind and giving soul. Her final act of kindness was to give the gift of life through tissue and cornea donation. Even in death, her giving spirit continues, as her donation of tissues will heal as many as 75 people. Her corneas have already restored sight of two people.
Visitation will be held at the Harper Funeral Home, Beallsville, Saturday, March 12 from 11am until the time of the funeral service at 1pm with Pastor Jeff Horner officiating. Burial will follow in Armstrongs Mills Cemetery.
