Denise filled rooms with her big laugh; one of the unique things that we will miss in this world without her. She never missed an opportunity to tell you how much she loved you especially on hard days. Denise was a light that God placed on this earth that made a difference in so many lives. Denise never ran out of love to give she was called friend by so many. When Denise was a young mother she worked many jobs to support her 4 kids that she called her world. Nothing in this world made her more proud then to brag about her children and O-Babies. Words from her husband Steven Shafer: Denise and I were married on November 19th, 2005. We were very much in love and planned on growing old together. We worked together for several years but didn’t start dating until we had started working at separate jobs in late 2001. She took a job in the insurance industry where she spent most of the rest of her career. She held licenses for both claims adjuster and agent. She and I loved to spend time with our children and grandchildren. She wasn’t just Oma to her grandchildren, but also to just about every child she met under the age of 10. She loved those kids, all of them. She attended Friendship PH Church with me for the last 13 years and her faith was very important to her. She kept me from being anchored on the ground and I kept her from hitting the moon, a perfect fit. She was the spark that made my heart beat. I miss her every moment of every day. I love you Babe, Forever.
