She was predeceased by her sisters, Adriene (1979), Helen (June 28, 2000) and her brother-in-law, Dave (1996). Denise is survived by her husband Bill; son Les (Penny) daughter Arlene (Henly) and her four grandchildren, Richard, Roberta, Sydny and Evrett; and her brother Gabriel (Evelyn).

Her favourite spot over the years was Falcon Lake. She enjoyed spending time at the beach, boating, berry picking and golfing with family and friends.
