It is with tremendous heartache that we announce the death of Denise Michelle Paré who died at her home in Medicine Hat, AB on Saturday, March 28, 2015 at the age of 39 years following a lengthy illness.

Denise will be dearly missed by her children: Caila Ross, Drayton Paré, and Justyn Lohnes; granddaughter Brooklynn Ross; her parents Janice and Leroy Heighes, sisters Carol Matthew (Billy Robideau) and Leesa Bisson, and her step brother Keegan, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her grandmother Helen Matthews and cousins Brenda and Marcel Dubois.

Denise was raised and educated in Elkford. Following her high school graduation she attended the Medicine Hat College, Cypress College, and the Mount Royal University. She will be forever loved, her memory a precious gift to those she leaves behind.

The family wishes to thank Carole and Del Paré, Rae Matsen, Carol Paré, Rob and Heather, Carol Robinson, and Kolita for their love and support.
