Denise was born August 30, 1951 to the late Tony (Florent) & Rosemarie Caron Baker
in Attleboro. Denise is survived by her loving husband Stephen & her children Rebecca
& her wife Cassandra Estey of Mashpee, Suzanne & her husband Derek Ashworth of
Rochester & Jonathan Estey of South Dennis, her four grandsons Cole, Noah, Andrew
& Griffin, her sister Jacki Baker & husband Ron Mancini of Vermont, & her brother Jerry
Baker & wife Beverly of Rehoboth.
Denise, the second of three children, grew up in Plainville, Mass. and attended
Dominican Academy there. Denise was raised with much love & support from her
parents & siblings.
Denise met her husband Steve in the summer of ‘75. They married in October 1977 at a
small church in South Dennis.
After Denise’s career at many local hair salons, Denise went to work for the Dennis
Yarmouth school system as a teacher’s assistant. She so enjoyed the challenges of
working with the children in various settings & helping to make them successful.
Denise enjoyed anything that had to do with her kids, whether it was watching them play
sports, or play in the yard. She loved being a mom. If there was anything she loved
more than being a mom that was being a grandmother to her four grandsons. As
simple as it sounds, Denise’s greatest treasure was & will always be her kids &
grandkids.
Denise is lovingly remembered for her huge smile, even bigger heart and willingness to
help anyone who needed it. She was like a second mother to many of her kid’s friends
& loved to have anyone & everyone over for supper and visits. To say she will be
greatly missed by all is an understatement.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Cape Kids Meals to help all Cape Cod
students receive free and reduced lunches in Denise's memory.
Due to Covid all services will be only family and there will be a celebration of life this fall. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.doanebealamesdennis.com
