Dena was the owner/operator of Dena Memorials Inc. and was the
third generation in her family in the monument business. She loved the farmer's
market in the summertime, took gourmet cooking classes and was an excellent
cook, she enjoyed travel, and being outdoors and hunting with her husband. Dena
was compassionate, selfless, and encouraging. She was always thinking of others
and went above and beyond to let her customers know that she cared. She was a
loving daughter, wife, and mother. Her sons were her top priority, and she
always made sure they were ready for all of their activities. She welcomed her
sons’ friends and was like a second mother to many of them. She will be missed
by all who knew and loved her. Her faith in God has given her an eternal home in
Heaven and we can't wait to be with her again.
Memorial donations may be made to the Zackery and Clayten Manley College Fund in
care of Don or Carolyn Manley and will be accepted at the funeral home.
