Mom was born and raised in St. Boniface, the only girl with 8 brothers. She decided to move to British Columbia with her best friend to work in the office of a logging camp. She came back home to work at Great West Life and married the love of her life. They built a home, cottage and taught us the joys of camping and travelling. Family was very important to her. She baked, cooked, sewed and knitted. Their home was always open, and they loved to entertain.

Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart. She watched their games and cheered them on, also volunteering at their schools. Giving of her time came naturally to her and spent 20 years volunteering at St. Boniface Hospital, also her church.

A celebration of life for Denise will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Green Acres Funeral Home Highway 1 East at Navin Road, Winnipeg. Those wishing to join the service by livestream may do so by visiting: www.greenacresfuneralhome.com

The family would like to thank Rhonda and staff at Manoir de le Cathédrale, staff at Actionmaruerite St. Vital- Unité Marguerite for their excellent care and support. We are forever grateful.

Maman était une femme dévouée à sa famille. Ses petits enfants savaient que chez Mémé il y avait toujours de bons biscuits qui les attendaient.

Love you forever Mom
