Denise Applegate

Denise Applegate of Sardinia, Ohio, was 49 years old when she died on February 2, 2015. Public records and local news identify her as a long‑time resident of the area. While the public record about Denise’s private life is limited online, contemporary reports note that she was part of a family and community in and around Sardinia.

In February 2015 local authorities and news outlets reported that Denise and her estranged husband were found dead at their home on Stephan Road; at the time those reports described ongoing divorce proceedings and a domestic‑relations dispute. Those facts form part of the public record of her final days, but they do not define the whole of Denise’s life.

Because no family‑authorized obituary or funeral‑home notice matching her name and the exact date of death was located in major local obituary listings or established funeral‑home sites, much of Denise’s personal history (birth date, employment, education, named relatives) could not be independently confirmed from a primary obituary source online. What is clear from reliable local reporting is that Denise was a real person whose life mattered to family and neighbors in Sardinia; beyond the limited public documents available, loved ones and community members hold the fuller memories of who she was.

This remembrance honors Denise Applegate as a person whose life had meaning to those close to her. It acknowledges the limits of what is publicly recorded while leaving space for family and friends to add the details and stories that best reflect her life and legacy.
