Denise bravely battled breast cancer for more than a year. After her diagnosis, she lived her life to the fullest by traveling to Mexico and Las Vegas. Denise loved life and was always laughing. She enjoyed St. Louis Cardinals baseball, her dogs, and having a good time but her most precious moments were those spent with her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Phyllis Duncan.
