DENINE BATTAGLIA

Denine Battaglia, 60, of Pleasant Hill, was born April 7, 1961, in Schenectady, New York, the daughter of Anthony C. and Jean (Lombardi) Battaglia.  She departed this life on Saturday, January 29, 2022, at her daughter's home in Greenwood surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

She attended early high school at Mount Pleasant in Schenectady later finishing her education in Lone Jack.

Denine was a gifted Chef who started working with her mother at the Occasion Restaurant in Pleasant Hill; later becoming the Bar Manager at The Marina Grog & Galley and Garozzo’s Ristorante.  She ended her career cooking at the Brookdale Senior Living Center. She loved working with the staff and especially the residents, many of whom held a special place in her heart.  She enjoyed swimming, camping, and gardening, but more than anything she loved spending time with her grandchildren.  She was a huge animal lover, proudly passing this trait on to her children.

Denine was preceded in death by her father and her son-in-law Daniel Lewis.
