Denise successfully ran her own business in Saigon, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit. She was also passionate about the arts, finding joy in painting and poetry, which enriched her life and inspired those around her.
She leaves behind a legacy of resilience, creativity, and devotion to her family. Denise will be deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
