Obituary of Denise Lucas

LUCAS - The family of Denise Lucas, beloved wife of Jeff, sadly announce her passing on Monday, August 16, 2021 at the age of 49 years. Denise was born and raised in Esterhazy, SK to Barbara and Raymond Neumeier, the middle child of five. As a young woman, she met and fell in love with Jeff Lucas. Following high school, they moved to Red Deer, AB where she completed training as a hairdresser. In 1993, they returned to Saskatchewan, settling in Yorkton, and were married on August 2, 1996. That same year, she decided to change careers and began working for Sunrise Health where she worked many different positions and accumulated many great friends over the years. In 2010, Denise became a mother when her and Jeff welcomed their only child, Jacob. It was in motherhood where Denise shone the brightest. In 2018, Denise received a jarring diagnosis of breast cancer. After over 2 years of difficult medical treatments to put her cancer into remission and recovery from the effect of those treatments, it cruelly returned earlier this year and finally overcame her. Denise will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 25 years, Jeff; son, Jacob; siblings, Colleen, Heather, Marty and Dean; and numerous other family members and friends. She was predeceased by her parents. A visitation for family and friends was held on Friday, August 20. Funeral Services were held on Saturday, August 21, 2021 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Crystal Bailey, Certified Celebrant officiating. Denise's brother, Marty Neumeier gave a tribute and words of remembrance. Special music was Jealous of the Angels.
