JULIEN, DENISE RENEE
of Portage

Denise, age 56, was welcomed into heaven by Jesus and her daddy whom she adored. She died in her home surrounded by family on Thursday August 13, 2015. Denise loved many things: swimming, boating, singing, playing piano, bowling, camping, art, riding the bus to her job at CDS. She was active in Special Arts and Special Olympics. But what she loved most of all were people, she never met a stranger. She loved everybody and was very generous with her smiles and hugs. She was a blessing to her family and loved being a sister and an auntie. She is survived by her mother, Barbara Julien; sisters: Debbie (Joel) Stocking, Dawn (David) Polson; brothers: Wayne (Mindy) and Jason (Amalia); Kim and Greg and many other foster siblings; nephews and nieces: Robert, William, Renee, Jennifer, Jason, Matthew, Danny, Andrea, Andrew, Kayla, Sara, Bella, Mia, Lila, Maxwell, Eden; grandnephews and grandnieces, Marah, Jackson, Ella, Theodore, Anneke, Riley, Lily, Irie, Kayden, Eden and Lex; and many extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her loving father, Wayne F. Julien. Friends may visit with the family from 2-5 PM on Sunday, Aug. 16, at Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Westside Chapel, 3926 S. 9th Street.
