Denise was an extraordinary individual—her presence alone could light up any room. Her radiant outlook, candid nature, and sharp wit enriched every interaction, making them both refreshing and memorable. Denise had a relentless passion for making the world a kinder place, often with a directness that was as sincere as it was impactful. She embraced everyone she met with open arms, making you feel like a lifelong friend from the very first moment.
I had the privilege of working alongside Denise on the District-24 Democratic committee, where we nurtured dreams of a future rich in public service, filled with hope, and driven by a determination to make a lasting impact.
Our time together in District-24, especially at the 2018 State Convention, our engagements with the ND Women’s Network, and at Ready-To-Run events, was filled with laughter and a profound sense of camaraderie.
I will forever cherish the memories of our shared endeavors and the dreams we nurtured together.
Words cannot capture the immense impact
Denise had on me.
My sincerest condolences go out to Denise’s family and friends during this time.
