Dena attended New Berlin High School. She was a wonderful grandmother, and she loved spending time with her granddaughter. She was a great cook and a talented artist, and she loved gardening.

Dena is survived by one son, Hunter L. (Emma Skube) Estes, of Springfield; one daughter, Jaden L. Bell, of Dallas, Texas; one granddaughter, Hayden Emmons; her longtime partner, Michael W. Emmons; one brother, Carl "Dean" (Tiffany) Bell Jr., of Waverly; two sisters, Dia A. (Aaron) Curtis of Waverly and Darlene J. Bell of Loami; three nieces; five nephews; and several cousins.
