Denyse Drawdy St. Martin

Denyse Drawdy St. Martin, 60 years old went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ after a seven year battle with breast cancer and the damage to her heart from chemo.

Denyse was a strong lady who loved life even with all her health issues. Denyse said she would have a new and healthy body again.  Her Lord promised her that.

Denyse was an mortgage underwriter for 30 years retiring in May 2023.

Denyse is survived by the love of her life, her daughter, Madyson St. Martin of Longwood, FL; her aunts, Anita Blanton, Deanna Cramer, Gwen Cassidy Tilton and Debbie Weinland; uncle, Calvin Graham Jr.; her best friend Christine Remero and her high school friends that she reconnected with in September.  She was predeceased by her mother, Carolyn Drawdy Graham and her only brother, Colvin Drawdy; grandparents, Lonnie and Margaret Graham and a uncle, Bobby Graham.
