Denise passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 16, 2023, at Deer Lodge Centre in Winnipeg at the age of 99.
She is lovingly remembered by her sons, Jeffrey (Margaret) of Nanaimo, BC, and Duncan (Jackie) of Burlington, ON, grandchildren, Matthew, Katie (Peter), Emily (Mike), Andrew (Miranda), Phyllis (Glen), and 11 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband of 71 years, Walter; her sister June and her brother Bert.
Denise was born in Winnipeg October 13, 1924, and grew up there attending Isaac Brock and Daniel McIntyre schools. She worked for many years with Colgate Palmolive until she married Walter in 1947. They raised their family in Winnipeg and in 1962 moved to Calgary for eight years, and returned to Winnipeg in 1970 to enjoy their summer cottage and old friends.
Denise loved visiting family in Abbotsford and Nanaimo and her many trips down south. She enjoyed her synchronized swimming group, curling and golf. She was a longtime member of St. Stephens and St. Bedes Church.
A special thanks to the staff at Deer Lodge for their support and to Margaret Walker for her caring visits.
Cremation will take place with a private interment at a later date.

Sending condolences on behalf of Craig and myself. Your Mom was such a beautiful person and we fondly remember spending many good times with them when they got together with our parents. I guess they’re all together now reminiscing. Kind regards to you and your families, Adrienne and Craig. - Posted by: Adrienne (Menzies) Soltau (Family friend) on: Jan 12, 2024

Jeff and Duncan….I was thinking of your Mum today, remembering our good times together in Calgary in the early 60’s. I typed in her name and found out about her recent passing. I hope you are both doing okay. Hold on to those precious memories. They will keep her close….. Janis - Posted by: Janis McQueen (Muirhead) (Friend of the family) on: Dec 13, 2023
