Denise Rene Breedlove, Age 59, of Springfield, MO passed away in her home after a long illness on May 29, 2016. She was born to Mary “Jackie” (McBride) and Jack Breedlove in Springfield, MO.
Denise was raised in a Christian home and was taught the gospel at a young age. She strongly believed in the Grace and Salvation of Jesus Christ and would often tell friends and family to “have more faith”.
For most of her life she worked side by side with her father, Jack, at the family business. Denise’s greatest pleasure were simple times visiting around the counter, telling stories and laughing with friends and family. She especially loved the holidays and would spend hours decorating, cooking and setting the festive atmosphere. Every person left with a hand-crafted gift of some kind.
