Dennise Franklin Obituary

Dennise Colleen Franklin, a compassionate soul and beacon of light, passed away peacefully on February 7, 2026. Born in Port Hueneme, CA, on February 10, 1957, Dennise touched many lives with her humble spirit and generous heart. She made Aurora, Colorado, her home, where she built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless memories with her beloved family and friends.

Dennise was a woman of many talents, but her passion for crafts, especially sewing and embroidery, set her apart. Her skilled hands wove love into every stitch, creating beautiful works of art that will be treasured by her loved ones for years to come. But Dennise wasn't just an artist; she was a devoted friend, a supportive partner, and a loving mother. Her career as an Office Manager in the Machine and Fabrication industry was marked by the same dedication and kindness she showed in every aspect of her life.

Dennise is survived by her husband, James Franklin, and their sons, Curtis and Chase. She also leaves behind her niece Lindsey, her brothers Tim Carter, Randy Carter, and Scott Pulver, and her daughter-in-law, Laura Franklin. Her spirit lives on in the lives she has touched and the love she shared. Dennise was preceded in death by her parents, Wayne Carter and Doris Stockwell.

Her love and spirit will forever live in the hearts of all who knew her. Her memory serves as a reminder to be compassionate, humble, generous, and supportive, just as she was. Dennise's life was a testament to the beauty of a lived-in life, full of love and selflessness. She was a nurturing soul whose kindness was felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Please join us in celebrating her life and legacy. We invite you to share your memories and upload photos of Dennise to the memorial page. Your stories and pictures will help keep her spirit alive and will serve as a comforting reminder of the love she shared with us all.
