Denna loved her Lord and Savior, family, friends, and people in general.  She was a member of the Northcrest Church of Christ.  Her family was the light of her life.  She was a wonderful wife, mother, and a truly amazing Mimi.  Mimi cherished her grandchildren and tried to spoil them as much as possible.  Her compassionate ways extended to many others.  Denna loved to shop, and, on numerous occasions, she would gladly take some of her elderly customers shopping.  She was, also, a part time beautician for several nursing homes.  Denna worked hard her entire life and she took pride in her work.

Denna collected angels, enjoyed sewing, loved sweets, especially, chocolate and loved animals.  Turquois was her favorite color.  Denna also took pride in the way she looked.

Denna’s family would like to express their sincere gratitude for the care that Community Hospice of Texas provided.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Peggy Haddox.
