Denise Carolyn Price, 56, entered eternal rest on March 19, 2025, at her earthly home in Hopewell, VA.

God looked down on his daughter "Denise" and called her home where there would be no more pain. Our hearts were truly saddened, but we knew she was tired. She closed her eyes as she lay in her bed at her earthly home and peacefully transitioned from her earthly home to her heavenly home. We serve a God who does not error or make mistakes and gives us the courage and strength to go through whatever we have to go through.

She was born April 13, 1968, to the late Joann Goodwyn. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Edward C. and Marjorie Q. Young; sister, Ruth E. Goodwyn; twin brother, Dennis Turner; brothers, Richard Goodwyn and Larry Williams; aunts, Ruth Peay, Ethel Myers, and Caldonia Young; uncles, Robert Edward Young, Sr., Stewart Young and Hosia James Butts.
