Dena Dedicated her life to her family and to the Lord. She was a faithful servant. She served the Lord, along with her husband as a Pastor’s wife for most of her adult life. They ministered together preaching God’s word and leading people to the Lord for over 50 years. She was a testimony to the women of the church as well as guiding and counseling them of God’s word. Through their work and devotion to God, countless people have come to know the Lord as their Saviour throughout the world. Dena enjoyed being with her family spending time with her grandchildren and making their favorite desserts.

We will forever miss her and will always remember her kind heart, her grace, devotion to her husband, family, and the Lord.
