Denice married her high school sweetheart, and together they shared fifty-two years of marriage and three children together.

Denice proudly served as president of the Hiawatha Figure Skating Club board for many years.

Denice enjoyed sewing and making dance and figure skating costumes for her daughter and granddaughters. She loved baking birthday cakes and desserts of all kinds, and family and friends especially looked forward to her famous pumpkin rolls. Above all else, Denice treasured the time she spent with her grandchildren and the time she spent with her beloved dogs.
