Denise Dillard Obituary
Denise Marie
(Maghielse) Dillard
May 29, 2024
Denise Marie (Maghielse) Dillard passed away peacefully in May 2024 at the age of 42. Denise was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and attended Annunciation Catholic School until the eighth grade. She moved with her family to Colorado Springs at the age of thirteen and resided there until recently moving to Conroe, Texas. She was very proud of her children and always wanted the very best for them. She enjoyed playing with her dogs, "The Nightmare Before Christmas", building with Legos and watching "Friends". Denise had an infectious laugh and a smile would light up a room as she touched the lives of many.
She is survived by her two sons Gabriel and Joshua Albanese, her husband Bryan Dillard, her parents, Jim and Ana Maghielse, her siblings, Andrew Maghielse and Monica Watrin, as well as friends and relatives too numerous to count.
Denise will be deeply missed and her presence will never be forgotten. Her memory will live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew her.
The Rosary will be on June 13, 2024 at 9:15am with Mass of Christian burial following at 10am. These will take place at St. Patrick Catholic Church (6455 Brook Park Dr. Colorado Springs, Co.) Reception to take place after the service at the Church.
Internment will occur with the family at Memorial Gardens Cemetery (3825 Airport Rd. Colorado Springs, Co.)

Mr. And Mrs. Maghielse, Monica and Andrew, I don´t even know where to start with what to say. Words cannot express what I feel for all of you in my heart. I always remember and never forget. I am sending my deepest sympathy for the loss of a daughter and a sister not to mention a wife to her husband and a mother to her children. I wish I could be there with everybody at the services while you grieve to give you a hug. Know I am thinking of you during this heartbreaking time in your lives and sending my love. I lost my brother John two years ago so I understand. Take care and God bless. Theresa.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with the Family! May You Rest In Peace Denise. " Our Favorite Memory of Denise was when my wife Jacki was pregnant with our son Christopher and Denise wouldn't leave Jacki's side, she just wanted to keep rubbing her belly...After Christopher was born all she wanted to do is hold our son in her arms and play with him until Auntie Ana would tell her to give him back to Jacki.
