Denise Michelle Rishe (Bibb)

Denise was born in Gainesville, Texas.  She lived most of her life in Salt Lake City, Utah, although she returned to Texas for a few years to live in Gainesville and in San Antonio. Briefly married to Edward Bibb, divorced.

Denise celebrated her  Bat Mitzvah and her Confirmation at Congregation Kol Ami in Salt Lake City.  She played flute beautifully, and was a strong runner who twice completed the St. George Marathon.  She loved hiking and enjoyed family backpack trips in the High Uintahs.  She delighted in all animals, especially butterflies.

Denise is survived by her parents Harvey and Sharon Rishe; brother Jeremy Rishe; sister-in-law Stacey Linnartz;  loving uncles, aunt, and cousins; fiancé James Baliff; and her devoted birth family.  Thank you, Rhonda, Moe, James and family, and special  gratitude to Chris Martin and to all of Denise's friends who cared for her throughout the years.

In her memory and to help others, donations may be made to The Alano Club, 5056 South 300 West, Murray, Utah 84107.  ( https://www.alanoclubslc.org )
