Born in Ontario on December 5, 1946, Denise moved to Calgary, and moved to southern Alberta where she lived in Delbonita and was taken in by the West family. She pursued a degree in nursing and became a compassionate and skilled nurse care aid. She had a heart for caring for others, and her professional life reflected this. In the early 1970s, Denise met the love of her life, Ange-Emile, and after a short courtship, they were married on November 20, 1971. Together, they built a beautiful life, raising five children and creating a legacy that now spans generations.
Denise’s life was full of love, laughter, and service to others. Whether it was in her career, her family, or her community, Denise always put others first. She was the heart of her family and will be remembered for her unwavering love, strength, and the endless support she provided to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life for Denise and her son Aldege will be held on January 3, 2026, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember the incredible woman they were lucky to know and love. More details will follow for family and friends.
Denise’s love will live on forever in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten
