Denise enjoys spending time with family and friends playing golf, attending performing arts events, cooking, and traveling.  She especially loves her beloved Wolfpack! Her personal service includes serving on the Sacred Heart Catholic Church Pastoral Council as Chair of the Communications Commission, Adult Education and Music Ministries.
