About I lost my my sister, Denise, to ALS yesterday afternoon. A horrible disease. She lost her ability to walk, talk, eat in less than a year, but kept her ability to smile, laugh, and show how much love she had for her family. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and sister.??
Events Denise Blystone, age 69, passed away on August 31, 2023, surrounded by her family. She was born August 14, 1954, in Cleveland, Ohio to William and Helen Heise. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Donna Lavecchia. She is survived by her husband, John L.; sons, John W. (Virginia), and Jeff (Amelia); grandchildren, Lenora, Harrison, Weston, and Griffin; sister Diana (Joe); other extended family members and friends.

Denise dedicated her life to being a great mother and was always there to offer encouragement, support and love to her family. She really cherished being a grandmother and loved making new friends. She had a great sense of humor and made a lasting impression on all who knew her. She will be greatly missed.

To honor Denise's wishes, services will be held privately by the family.
