Denece was born in El Dorado, KS. After relocating several times during her childhood, she met and married her husband Rob in 1989. A job relocation brought her and her family to southeastern Missouri in the early 90’s where they would live for the next 25 years. Denece and Rob fell in love with Table Rock Lake and purchased a second home on the lake in 2001 where they now reside full time.
After moving to Missouri, Denece started a line position for a commercial lighting manufacturer. She would spend the next 25 years working in nearly every department in the plant and would eventually become a Data Entry Specialist for the office. She left her position in 2021 after permanently making the Ozarks her home base.
Denece is the mother of two daughters and a son. She is also Mamo to 8 precious grandbabies. Denece and her husband like to spend their free time at sporting events for their grandchildren or enjoying all the lake has to offer just beyond their back door.
