Denise A. Cochran's Obituary
Denise "Dee" Ann Cochran, age 67 of Lewes, DE, passed away on Saturday, July 08, 2017, at Harbor Health Care & Rehabilitation Center, in Lewes after a lengthy illness. She was born on August 04, 1949 in Lancaster, PA, daughter of the late Samuel W. and Frances (Ohl) Smith.
Denise attended Garden Spot High School in New Holland, PA. She relocated from PA to Lewes, DE in 1980. She was employed by First Omni Bank until she began working for Grotto, Inc., a company she truly loved. It was here that she made many lasting friendships and found her "second family". Denise continued with Grotto, Inc. until 2010 when she became ill. She loved going to the beach, reading good books, and spending time with her beloved grandchildren. She was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, cousin, and friend, and she will be genuinely missed by everyone who had the opportunity to know her.
Denise is survived by her daughters: Sheree Connor and Shawna Mayles, both of Lewes, DE; her grandchildren: Elias, Aidan, and Jacey; her cousin, Tom Hoober, who was like a brother to her; and her cousin Nancy Hoober.
