Denise L. Shaffer

Denise was raised by her parents in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School in 1973. She worked for West Penn Power before marrying Stephen Gaydosh and moving to Fulton, New York. They lived in New York for five years before relocating to Royal Palm Beach, Florida, in 1986. For 31 years, Denise was employed as a Fiscal Specialist II at Palm Tran in West Palm Beach, Florida.

She cherished time with family, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed music, knitting and crocheting, reading, traveling, baking and gardening.

Denise is survived by her daughter, Krystin Berntsen and her husband Kyle; grandchildren, Kayden and Kelsey; a brother, Glenn Shaffer; nieces, Michele Napela, Theresa Stiltenpole, Kayla Markle, and Kallie Shaffer, as well as numerous other cousins and relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Merle and Joyce (Kirchner) Shaffer and her beloved sister, Cynthia Konopka.

Denise was a gentle, yet strong woman who never failed to make those around her feel loved. Sadly, we have lost a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and beloved friend to many. Denise will be greatly missed.
