Denise was born on February 5, 1964 to Richard L. Greer and Martha J. McLay in Peru, IN. Denise had three children, Andrea Richardson, Caleb (Jeni) Richardson, and Braden Richardson. Denise dedicated her life to being a wonderful, loving mother, and supporting her family through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. She made it her mission to help improve the lives of those around her. Denise was passionate about family, the beauty of nature, and filling the world with warmth and kindness. Her compassionate soul touched the lives of many, and she will be deeply missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing her.
