Denise Lynnette (Roberts) Hurd, aged 69 of Dewey, AZ, was welcomed into the arms of Jesus on October 26, 2021.
Denise was born to Donald and Arleta Roberts in Independence, MO and graduated from Truman High School. Over the years, Mike and Denise enjoyed visiting and skiing in CO and riding their Harley through MO, AR, Sturgis, several national parks, and countless sunsets. Mike and Denise attended services at First Southern Baptist Church in Chino Valley, AZ; they are very appreciative of the friendships fostered there -- Arnie and Giesela Sorrells, Pastor Mark Reader, and many others. She was a wonderful cook and loved baking -- skills passed down from her mother and grandmother. She worked as a grocery store manager, and at AT&T, but her favorite job was working as a lunch lady in Fort Osage School District. She enjoyed sharing love with the children and made sure every kid was fed and loved at lunch time. She will be placed to rest in Mount Washington Cemetery in Independence, MO.
Denise was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved brother, Dennis Roberts. She is survived by her husband of 37 years, Mike Hurd; her daughters, Amy (Mark) Hurd Kille and Sara (Brian) Hurd; granddaughters, Savannah, Ashlyn, Brooke, and Raina; nephews, Scott (Christina) and their children: Makayla and Aiden, and Jason (Audrey) Roberts and their children: Jackson, Carson, and Denai.
Mike and Denise are forever grateful for the love and support of many friends, family, and neighbors in AZ and MO throughout this long battle with cancer -- Steve & Audrey, Scott Munday, Roger Hegg, Skeeter Woolsey, John Hughes, Rick Bartels, David & Rita, Randy Swayze, Wayne Timmons, Ed & Roberta Cable, Belva, Nancy, Michelle, Nelda, Steve & Connie Outlaw, Braxton Petty, Wesley Holden, Randy & Pam Evans, Greg Bowerman, and many others.
In lieu of flowers, pay it forward to those around you in need.
