   Denise was always thoughtful, kind, and generous to others.  She  absolutely loved decorating her home and always set out in search of unique items.  She enjoyed cooking and gardening and created beautiful gardens and floral arrangements to decorate her home.  She was a natural caretaker as she had an exceptional maternal instinct. Denise had a soft heart for animals and would rescue any animal in need.  She was an avid horse lover for most of her life and found serenity tending to her horses and riding on a beautiful sunny day.  Denise will be remembered for her huge loving heart and gentle spirit.  She will be missed deeply.
