Ionia Sentinel Standard, 15 Dec 2009

Karen S. Denis, age 48, of Six Lakes, formerly of Portland and Ionia, passed
away unexpectedly at home on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009.  She was born on Feb. 12,
1961 in Lansing, the daughter of Charles and Alfreda (Loomis) Hoppes.  She
attended Portland and Ionia area schools, and graduated from Ionia High School
in 1979.  She exchanged wedding vows with Stephen J. Denis on Sept. 29, 1979,
and enjoyed 30 years of marriage.  The couple shared everything and worked
together for nearly thirty years in their Belding restaurant business, “Your
House of Pizza”.  In addition to being a dedicated business woman, she
volunteered for a time at Greenville Hospital, and she had a great sense of
humor.  Karen also enjoyed staying on the cutting edge of health related topics
and researched the latest in vitamins, supplements, diseases and treatments for
herself and her friends and family.
