Denia will be remembered for her infectious smile, southern hospitality, witty remarks, and her fried chicken; and will be deeply missed by all. She resided at the Edward L. Wilkinson Residential Health Care Facility for the past six years where she was treated like family and cared for by the extremely dedicated nurses and staff there. Special thanks to Tiny and Luce.

Theurer. Survivors include her daughter, Patricia “Del” Masten; three grandsons, Robert J., Jonathan, and Eric (Jen); three great-grandsons, Devon R., Alex, and Gabe; and several special nieces and nephews.
