Denise Adrianne Folks

Denise (Husk) Folks, 69, of Pennsburg passed away peacefully on Friday, January 12th, 2024. Born in Norristown, she was the daughter of the late Frederick and Lillian (Schwager) Husk. For many years, she was a Social Worker and Case Manager for Eagleville Hospital in the Detox Unit.

She touched the lives of so many people and will live on in each of their hearts.
