Obituary for Denise R Heinrich (Miller)
Denise Renee (Miller) Heinrich, 64, passed away Saturday, June 25, 2022. She was born on August 19, 1957 in Enid, OK to Bill Miller and Billie June (Matteson) Miller and was the fourth of six children.
Denise Renee married Robert D Heinrich on May 30, 1975 at the Garber Christian Church. Together they had three children, two daughters and a son. She graduated from Garber High School in 1976. Denise was a stay-at-home mom for several years. During that time, she would cook meals during harvest and deliver them to the field. As her children got older, she ran the Garber swimming pool and worked at Free Time and Video. For the next 27 years she worked at Rush Metals as a tumbler operator and in the shipping department. In November of 2014, Denise went to work at Ditch Witch until the Lord called her home. She was a member of the Antelope Valley Church of Billings. Denise had a smile that would light up the room.
Denise’s greatest enjoyment was her family; from riding motorcycles with Bob and friends, sleepovers with her grandchildren, baking cookies, sewing Halloween costumes, working in the garden, swimming, camping, watching her grandchildren at sporting events, taking Hooch on nightly cruises around town, listening to good music, holidays with her family and keeping her great granddaughter. She was also a collector of many things from rocks to dishes to baby dolls and everything in between. To Denise, everything had value and she never discarded anything. She lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures and by spending time with her family and friends. She was always ready to offer her company something to drink and a bite to eat.
Denise is survived by her husband, Robert D Heinrich of the home, her children: Tracie Leigh Rhodes and husband Branden of Enid, OK; Billie Renee Pemberton and husband, Ronald of Garber, OK; and Robert Dean Heinrich, Jr and wife Ellen of Perkins, OK. Grandchildren: Darryan Wedel and boyfriend Parker Betchan, Shaylee Hatfield and husband, Kyle, Dakima Wedel, Robert Heinrich III, Taryn Rhodes, Dobbs Wedel, Ean Heinrich, Torie Rhodes, Beth Diaz and Trisha Ools. Great grandchildren: Emery June Betchan, Daisy, Nicolas and Amelia Diaz, Blakley Ools, and coming soon, Azayla June Hatfield. Brothers/Sisters: Alan Miller, Debbie Garrett, Sue Vandiver, Jeff Miller, Jason Miller, Joe and wife Linda Heinrich and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and her dog, Hooch.
She is preceded in death by her dad, Bill Miller; mom, Billie June Miller, grandparents: Andrew and Ella Matteson; Grandma and Grandpa Miller; sister-in-law, Sharon Miller; brother-in-law, Larry Garrett; nephew, Justin Heinrich; father-in-law, Robert Heinrich, mother-in-law, Willa D Geller, and cousin Bryce Matteson.
Denise is loved and will be missed BUNCHES AND BUNCHES. She was the best wife, mother, granny, sister and aunt.
