Denise took on the full time role of a housewife, loving mother, and caretaker of many animals. She devoted all of her time in making sure her children had everything she could offer to make them happy. Whenever she was not taking care of her children she would help and take in any animal she came across, from cats, to roosters, to turtles.
Her husband, Robert Ortega and her two children, Roberto and Marco Ortega remain to take on her roles and take care of her beloved cats that she has left behind. She has touched and impacted both directly and indirectly the lives of many and she will be missed by all.
