most fortunately came into her life after Pauline’s death. Denise worked at several
different occupations throughout her life but was most proud of her time spent working
and supporting children and adults who required extra care. During the last few years
of her life she spent a lot of time with the First Baptist Church of Mexico and made so
many good friendships there. Denise’s greatest love was for her children and her
grandchildren. She barely ever missed a sporting event and was their biggest
cheerleader for everything they did in their lives. She is survived by her loving husband
of 42 years, Larry G. Roderick; two daughter’s Shawna Chase and husband Peter,
Heather Whitney and husband Danny; grandchildren Kalen Matthew Chase, Maisy Lynn
Chase, Hayden Ann-Marie Chase and Adaline Rose Whitney. She is also survived by

nieces, nephews and dear friends that became family. A celebration of life has been
scheduled for Saturday June 3rd at 2 pm at the family’s most special place, more
