Denise Fellos

July 30, 2026

CHARLOTTE – Denise Fellos, 70, passed away unexpectedly on the evening of Thursday, July 30, 2026, leaving her family, friends, and all who knew her heartbroken. While her passing was sudden, the love and kindness she shared throughout her life will always endure.

Born on May 8, 1956, Denise grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she developed the compassionate spirit, boundless energy, and genuine kindness that would define her throughout her life.

Denise enjoyed a career as a real estate paralegal and later found joy in providing concierge services, caring for homes and pets with the same dependability and kindness for which she was known.

Denise never met a stranger.  She had an enormous heart and a remarkable gift for making people feel loved, welcomed, and cared for.  Whether offering a helping hand, a listening ear, or words of encouragement, she was always there for anyone in need.  Her generosity and selflessness touched countless lives, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.

Her greatest joys were her family, her treasured friends, and her beloved dogs.  She nurtured lifelong friendships built on loyalty, laughter, and unconditional love.  Denise embraced life with enthusiasm and optimism, bringing warmth, laughter, and an unforgettable personality wherever she went.

Denise also had a special love for Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church and especially loved being involved each year with the Yiasou Greek Festival.  It was an event she embraced with the same energy, warmth, and generous spirit she brought to everything she did. Her involvement with the festival reflected so much of who Denise was—someone who loved people, treasured community, and was always willing to lend a hand and be part of bringing others together.

Denise is survived by her siblings, Pam Fellos Cook, Stephanie Fellos Holleman, Peter Thomas Fellos, and Zoe Fellos Bell, as well as her extended family and the many cherished friends whose lives were made richer by knowing and loving her.  She was preceded in death by her sister, Elaine Fellos Young, and her parents, Steve Pete Fellos and Tula Cavalaris Fellos.

Denise's legacy is one of kindness, generosity, unwavering friendship, and unconditional love. She leaves behind a world made brighter by her presence and countless human and dog lives forever changed by her compassion.  Her sudden passing leaves an ache in the hearts of all who loved her, but there is comfort in the promise of eternal life and the knowledge that Denise is now at peace with the Lord.

Funeral Services will be held at 1:00 PM on Friday, August 7, 2026, at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral.  The family will receive friends at the church beginning at 11:30 AM until the time of the service.  Interment will follow at Evergreen Cemetery.  Due to time constraints, the family will be unable to receive friends after the funeral service at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be offered in memory of Denise to Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, 600 East Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28203 or the Humane Society of Charlotte, 1348 Parker Drive, Charlotte, NC 28208.

May Her Memory Be Eternal.

Arrangements are in the care of Kenneth W. Poe Funeral & Cremation Service, 1321 Berkeley Ave., Charlotte, NC 28204; (704) 641-7606.  Online condolences may be shared at www.kennethpoeservices.com.

    Denise was a schoolmate of mine. Beginning in Junior High School me and my buddies all had a crush on her. But we knew she was out of our league. She always was admired for her personality, smile and her friendliness. She will be missed beyond measure.

    Denise was a centerpiece of our small group that has met weekly for coffee for nearly twenty years. With her passing a part of each of us has gone too. Denise was a dear friend to us all. The last thing she said to me was "I love you."
