A faithful member of St Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Church, Denise lived her life as a true servant of God. She was deeply involved in ministries including

Worldwide Marriage Encounter, Catholic Daughters of America, FCCW St Catherines Catholic Church in Riverside. Her faith was the foundation of her life, and she expressed God’s love through her gentle spirit, unwavering kindness, and steadfast selflessness.

Denise had a deep love for the outdoors- she enjoyed hiking in nature and traveling the country in her motorhome with her family. She was also a devoted Dodgers fan, proudly cheering for her team and never missing a chance to watch a game. Her family was her greatest joy, and she spent every moment she could creating lasting memories with them.

Despite a courageous effort in dealing with cancer, Denise remained a beacon of strength and grace.

She faced her trials with quiet bravery, choosing instead to care for others and share God’s love in every word and action.
