On March 23, 1946 she married Lewis “Leslie” Denman. She was a homemaker, a life-long resident of Huntington, and a member of Highway Baptist Church. Mrs. Denman loved her church and cherished each member of family. Her prayers always ended with “May my children and grandchildren always be found serving the Lord”. When she made chicken and dumplings, one had to act quickly to fill their plate; there were never any leftovers. She taught her daughter, daughters-in-law and granddaughters how to make homemade chicken and dumplings, as well as chicken and dressing. She enjoyed watching hummingbirds and loved flowers and dogwood trees.
