After bravely surviving cancer, Denise continued to live life to the fullest cherishing every moment. She had a passion for sea horses and enjoyed collecting rocks and crystals. Denise loved the outdoors—fishing, camping, and riding motorcycles. She was also a devoted Elvis fan who loved to dance to anything on the radio. Denise was known by so many as mom, if anyone needed something or someone she was the person. But Denise found her greatest joy in being a grandmother. Her Grand babies were her world!  

Denise’s family will host a Celebration of Life at a later date. Details will be available at www.DahlFuneralHome.com. Memorials may be directed to her family.
