Doris Carozzo Denest, 93, died peacefully at her nursing home in West Chester on May 20, after a sudden illness.
The first-born daughter of Edgar Carozzo and Emma Bugliani, Doris was born on May 19, 1930, in Wilmington, and grew up in Kennett Square. Doris graduated from Kennett High School in 1948 and married Joseph L. Denest of Wilmington, Delaware in 1951.
From a very young age, Doris’s life became one of giving to others unconditionally. As the oldest daughter in her family, Doris adored and often cared for her sisters Marlene, Shirley, and Eddie, who became her three best friends. She cherished every moment with them. As a mother to her four children and grandmother of two, Doris shared her love, wisdom, and boundless support. There was nothing more important to her than family and she gave selflessly.
Doris leaves behind all of us who will keep her in our hearts: her children Michael (Diane) Denest of Newark, Linn (Greg MacDonald) Denesti of Moab, Utah, Lisa (Jeff) Bell of Kennett Square, and Mark (Carolyn) Denest of Downingtown; grandchildren Molly Stack of Moab, and Eric (Assela) Sutherland of Aarhus, Denmark; sisters Shirley Tingley of West Grove, and Eddie Leo of Wilmington; and her many nieces and nephews, cousins, and dear friends old and new.
Doris is preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Joseph Denest, infant daughter Debra Ann who died at birth in 1959; parents, Edgar Carozzo and Emma Bugliani; sister Marlene (Richard) Giancola; brothers-in-law on the Carozzo side; brothers and sisters-in-law on the Denest side; two nephews; cousins and other family members.

Visitation hour for family and friends begins at St. Patrick Church at 11 a.m. with mass at noon. The Rite of Committal and burial will take place at St. Patrick Cemetery, 460 N.
