Denise, a dear mother, educator and friend, sadly passed away on June 27, 2024, in Pontiac, Michigan, surrounded by her loving family.

Denise was born to Kathleen (stepfather Michael) and the late Richard (step mother Becky). Denise is survived by her five loving children: Elijah, Hannah, Emmalee, Zachary, and Abigail. She will be remembered for her infectious laughter, warm smile, and unwavering love for her family.

Denise was a dedicated educator who spent many years working at Grand Blanc High School as a computer science teacher before retiring in 2023. She was known for her passion for teaching and her ability to inspire her students to reach their full potential.

Denise greatly enjoyed boat watching and car shows with her father in her youth, creating cherished memories that she held dear to her heart. Four summers before her passing, she brought her children to Higgins Lake to pass on the legacy her and her father share.

Her kind spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Rest in God’s hands, Denise.
