Denise Niese Obituary

BOWLING GREEN -- Denise C Niese, 63, passed away on Friday, November 29, 2024. Denise was born on February 13, 1961 to Thural and Gladys (Hawkins) Williams.

There are not words to express the depth to which Denise will be missed by her family, friends, and the community. She was the most incredibly loving and devoted wife, mother and friend.

The life focus, commitment and passion of Denise was to enhance the lives of individuals in the community, primarily advocating for the enrichment of the senior community. The career path of Denise culminated with her serving as the Executive Director of the Wood County Committee on Aging.

Denise's superpower was her innate ability to establish a close, personal connection upon first meeting. Whether your acquaintance to Denise was as family, or friend or a member of the community in her service, invariably, see saw you as each. She had the ability to convince you to do what needed to be done, because you knew she would do anything for you.

Denise is a graduate of Vermilion (Ohio) High School, University of Toledo, and Spring Arbor University. In her free time, she enjoyed reading, serving on various community groups, and hosting family and friends at their cabin in Northern Ontario.

Denise is preceded in death by her father, Thural Williams and brother, Thural Jr. Surviving is her husband, Dale; sons, Benjamin and Andrew; mother, Gladys (Hawkins) Williams; brother, Warren; sisters, Linda Moyers, Marlene Minney, and Ruthann Jacobs. Too many to mention, Denise had so many loving in-laws, secondary family members and friends who made life for her special and precious.

I have so much gratitude for having Denise in my life. She added so much to it through the Senior Center and Wood County Bowling Green. She had so much respect for people. She treated them the way she wanted to be treated, and she was very kind and courteous.

I also remember the wonderful Thanksgiving dinners that her and her husband served to the seniors on Thanksgiving a lot of times I didn´t have any family here so I would go there for Thanksgiving dinner and it was the best dinner the best Thanksgiving dinner you ever met imagine.
I know that God put her in my life for a purpose.
