Denise was born on Thursday, July 11, 1974 in Safford, Arizona the daughter of Dennis V. Moyers and Linda S. Willis.
Denise was reared and educated in the earlier years in Arizona, Brazil, and then graduated from Wheatland High School in Wheatland. She attended college at Sheridan College then went to Black Hills State in South Dakota. She completed her masters in Hayes, Kansas. While in high school and college Denise joined the rodeo teams. After she completed her master’s, she worked in Kansas for a couple of years before coming back to Sheridan when she was married in 2001. The family moved to Wheatland in 2003 where she taught special education before getting her dream job as a kindergarten teacher. Denise loved teaching and all her students talked about what a wonderful teacher she was to them. She truly loved her job and cared for all her students.
Denise’s greatest love is her children. She followed them around to all their activities and supported them in all they did. When she wasn’t following them around or in her classroom you could find her enjoying all the reality TV and cooking shows.
