Denise had a heart and passion to share the gospel. She was a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association and Alcohol Anonymous program. Denise and Shawn could be seen at events in the community with Shawn riding along on his side bike throughout the Kootenay Boundary Region as far as Penticton.
Denise happily served her community behind the scenes, where she obtained children's book, toys, craft items etc. for those in need. She helped whoever came across her path, irrespective of their circumstances.
She had a Heart of compassion for all. Sadly, her dreams for a mobile home kitchen to serve the homeless and all who need did not materialize.
A Service and Celebration of Life would take place in the Spring of 2022. To be announced later.
