In Memory Of
Deni Marie Gardner
1973 - 2021
Deni loved life and lived hers to the fullest. She lit up every room she entered and had a profound impact on everyone she met. Her contagious laughter and kind and loving spirit was always felt by everyone lucky enough to encounter her. Deni was passionate about food and a phenomenal cook. Her culinary creations delighted family and friends who probably still have some of her food containers. Deni raised her daughter to be a strong woman by setting the example of hard work, perserverance, and dedication. She was beloved by her co-workers and clients. She treated her many friends like family and was a Mom to many of her daughter's friends. Deni's light burned bright and strong and was put out way too soon. Stylish, creative, beautiful, fun, loving, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, girlfriend, friend.
Deni is survived by her daughter, Olivia; her step-mother Lea Wilkins; her siblings, Donette Stukes, Terry Craig, Bryon Pike, and Keitha Gardner; her nieces and nephews, Danny Stukes, Cairn Pike, Levi Craig and Chad Gardner; paternal grandparents to Olivia, Ken and Nancy Gardner; her partner, Len DiCostanzo; her "best male friend", Mark Baker and her colleagues at Gallagher Insurance; her girl crew and many more loving relatives and friends.
