Denise Irene Davis Giesler, 84 of Meridian, Idaho passed away Tuesday, May 12, 2015 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Denise was born on December 27th, 1930 in Wheatland, Wyoming to George & Juanita Davis. As a small child, Denise and her younger siblings; Carole & Gary moved to Idaho where she began school at Little Willow Creek in Payette. While attending Fruitland High School Denise enjoyed being a cheerleader and was very active in highschool clubs & social events. One of her proudest school moments was being chosen by the American Legion Auxiliary to attend Girls State. She was a social butterfly, but always made time for her highschool sweetheart, Glenn. The two of them enjoyed attending all the social events of the town together, many of which ended up in the local paper.
Denise worked in the fruit packing sheds & cannery, however her passion was helping in the nursery at The Holy Rosary Hospital in Ontario. Upon graduation Glenn & Denise eloped to Winnemucca, Nevada where they began their 65 blessed years together.
In 1951 their first child was born and the new family moved to Stibnite, Idaho for a year. Alas, they returned to Meridian where Denise raised their 4 children and started her career at Meridian Insurance. She was a member of the Rebekah Assembly of Idaho receiving recognition in 2014 for her 50 years of membership.
Upon retirement, Denise & Glenn headed to their summer home on Bunch Drive in Garden Valley where she was very instrumental in the development of the new Senior Center in Crouch. While the mountains were a special place for her, the ocean held her heart. Anytime she was close to the ocean, a side trip was in order. She didnt care if it was for only a brief moment, she just wanted to see the ocean.
Those left to cherish her memory is her loving husband, Glenn; her 4 children Robert & Amy Giesler of Eagle, Kathy & Jim Bell of Hailey, Dianne Murphy of Meridian, and John Giesler of Meridian.
