Denise Perera, nee “Bianchi” born on August 25, 1962 in Tuckahoe, New York to late Nicholas & Grace Bianchi. Raised in Staten Island, New York, she graduated from Susan E. Wagner High School and then attended Wilfred Beauty Academy. She was the family hair stylist and continued for years doing so even though she also took on another opportunity. That opportunity was at Susan E. Wagner High School as a Special Education School Aide, which she worked at happily for over 30 years.
Her hobbies were shopping, buying make-up, decorating during the holidays and she was also a devoted dance mom at Ms. Theresa’s Dance Studio on Watchogue Road in Westerleigh.
Denise is survived by her loving husband, Peter of 23 years and her beloved and adored daughter, Bianca, as well as extended family, cousins, nieces and nephews.
She will be truly missed by all who knew her.

Dear Peter and Bianca,
My heart breaks for the loss of your precious wife/mother. Bianca, you came to my home in New Jersey when you were a baby. Your mom was so thrilled to have a child to call her own. I know you will grow up to be someone very special. Your mom was the kindest, most loving person I ever met.
With love,
Lauren Mehra

Dear Pete and Gracie Bianca,
Today my mind was constantly on Denise. She called had called me in September and we spoke for about 45 minutes.
We chatted about the great memories we shared. A few weeks later I called and left a few messages. Today I called because of her mom’s birthday month. Something told me Google her and what I saw is was an obituary! I am so devastated! Denise I told you to come for Diwali and you said “Pam I want to, we love coming, Bianca loves your Roti and I enjoy helping you cook it but we can’t this year. I am sending my condolences ,love and Prayers. I am here Peter and Bianca if you ever need me. Pam
