Denise was born June 26th, 1958, in Montgomery County, Dayton, Ohio to parents David Blocher Dutter and Sarah Jane (Delinger) Dutter who resided in New Lebanon, Ohio at the time of birth. She married her husband of 29 years on May 15th, 1993 and spent many years pouring into her immediate family as well as friends and other Believers. She was an adventurous woman who love to fly and travel as long as long as she could be free to do as she desired along the way. An author of several books and numerous other pieces of literature, she was also passionate about teaching and children. With everything she did, she inspired others to live their lives well and with purpose. She is survived by her husband Gerald Lorenz; her five children, Derek Lorenz and his wife Allyson, Braden Lorenz, Wyatt Lorenz, Stacy (Lorenz) Billings and husband Austin, and Kalyn Lorenz; and her three grandchildren, Emma, Amelia, and Adeline Lorenz.
