WATERBORO- Denise Deloris Foglio-Higgins, age 59, passed away unexpectedly on April 22, 2025.
She was born on February 19, 1966, daughter of Douglas C. Foglio, Sr. and the late JoAnne Tuttle Foglio. Denise graduated from Massabesic High School in 1984. Her outgoing, social personality led her to be successful in various occupations throughout her lifetime. She was most proud of owning her own cleaning business and truly enjoyed getting to know her clients, many of which quickly became friends.
Denise, often referred to as “Neese”, enjoyed taking long walks, sunbathing with a good book by her pool, camping, riding motorcycles and most of all spending time with her children and grandchildren. Having five brothers not only taught her to be strong, it also taught her how to care for others and how to find joy and humor, even in the most unlikely situations. She was beautiful inside and out, fun loving and full of mischief. She will be forever-remembered, loved and greatly missed by all.
Denise is predeceased by her mother JoAnne Foglio, her daughter Jennifer Rodgers, and former husband Scott Higgins.
Denise is survived by her partner Brent Woodsome; son Jacob (Jack) Higgins; stepchildren Josie Higgins, Kelly Flagler and her husband Stephen; her father, Douglas C. Foglio, Sr.; her brothers, Douglas Foglio, Jr. and his wife Suzanne, Dwayne Foglio and his wife Heather, Dale Foglio and his wife Stephanie, Darren Foglio, and Anthony Foglio and his wife Katelyn; her grandchildren Skyler and Faith Higgins, and Hazen Rodgers; and many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
