They lived in Anacortes until moving to Vallecito Lake near Durango, CO. in 2007.

They spent the winter of 2007 at Kino Bay (Mexico), which was one of Denise's most treasured memories. The light of her life and goal was to spoil her 3 grandchildren, Gracie, Emily and Eli. Her face would break out in a beautiful smile when she talked about them. She loved them dearly. She is survived by numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, cousins, nephews and friends.
