All-States Cremation - Wheat Ridge
Denise Kleinhans
Beloved sister of Jan Kleinhans and Barbara Kleinhans. Denise left the earth on the morning of July 25, 2009. She was known fondly as Dee or DeeDee and her nickname “Toad”. Denise loved life itself very much and never took anything for granted, not the birds that sing in the trees, not the flowers that bloom each spring. She was especially fond of hummingbirds. Denise was born on June 4, 1955 in Colby, Kansas to Arthur and Lola Kleinhans. She was the third child born to this family. She grew up in Colby and left with her parents to pursue a new life in Aurora, Colorado. Denise was a very gifted artist. She worked in oils, pastels and pencil. Her work was done with love. She left one pastel unfinished at her death, that of a beloved jazz artist whose name we cannot recall. She loved jazz very much and was a great fan of Jazz After Hours and its host, Jim Wilke. She would spend each weekend from 10 pm until 5 am listening to KUNC to Mr. Wilke’s show on Public Radio International and did so even when she was very ill with cancer. Ovarian cancer took her life from her. She fought a long and valiant battle with the dreaded disease but in the end she could not fight as she was too weak and too much in pain to battle any longer. She will be very much missed by us and we treasure the time and the love she shared with us. May she rest in peace and be free of the pain. She was a treasure and a true gift.
