Denise Kirkpatrick

Denise Kirkpatrick, beloved mother, grandmother (Gam Gam), sister, aunt, and daughter, left this earth unexpectedly on March 4th, 2025. She was a loving and devoted presence in the lives of her family and friends and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Denise is survived by her children: Roderick Lindenmuth (Mackenzie Clawson), Andrea Lindenmuth (Alexander Outman), and Wesley Lindenmuth (Ellie Adkins); her two cherished grandchildren, Everly Outman and Crew Lindenmuth; her parents, Ida and Gary Kiser; her brother, Gary Kiser Jr (Connie); and her sister, Connie Cleary. She was preceded in death by her younger brother, Michael Kiser.

To Denise, family was everything. It was her favorite way to spend her time. Whether it was laughing together at a backyard cookout, spoiling her grandchildren or watching Bucks games, she made everything more fun. She made every holiday feel magical, going above and beyond with decorations and gifts to create special memories for her loved ones. Country music filled her home, often serving as the soundtrack to her famous Southern cooking with more than a dash of salt. Her career and passion was interior design, where she had a way of perfectly customizing each space to match the mood. Denise had an unmistakable southern twang and a voice you could pick up in a crowd. Be it through advice, laughter, or unfiltered truth, her voice and words had a way of staying with you.

She was her children’s and grandchildren’s greatest champion, always showing up with unwavering support in everything they pursued. Whether it was a planned visit or one of her signature pop-ins, Denise had a way of making those around her feel seen, heard, and cared for. Denise will be remembered as someone who was loving, kind-hearted, and non-judgmental. She had an incredible ability to connect with people from all walks of life, offering comfort and understanding without hesitation.
