Denise M. Newcomer

Denise Marie Newcomer, 67, of Howard City, MI, passed away on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 after the strongest of fighting hearts took its final beat. On this day a wife, mom, grandma, and friend to so many went to be with God. We are comforted knowing she is no longer suffering and instead dancing at the biggest party of all! Denise had an uncanny ability to care for those around her and is remembered for her infectious laugh and smile. She was often found quilting and whipping up a meal in the kitchen. She improved the smiles of patients in Howard City, Lakeview and Grand Rapids, where she worked as a dental hygienist. She is survived by her husband Bob, children Amanda and Brady (Jenny), grand children Leland, Claire, and Camden, and sister Michelle (Rich) Placke. She was preceded in death by her parents Lillian and Richard Rzadkowolski. Denise would want her legacy to live on in celebration as she relished in laughter and shared stories. A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. The Newcomer Family would like to thank the staff of Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital for their care and attention. If you would like to donate in her honor, please consider Conquering CHD Michigan, formerly Mended Little Hearts of West Michigan. Arrangements by Bliss-Witters & Pike Funeral Home, Cedar Springs.
