She was educated in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We lost our eldest brother Douglas George Edwards while we were teenagers. He left behind his legacy, his only son Robert Bryheem Mims, and his grandchildren: Bryheem, Bre'ana, and Brenyn Mims. Denice was privileged to have lived and traveled throughout Europe in her early twenties. My sister was a lady of many talents. She owned and operated her own catering business. She also enjoyed cooking for family and friends at events that she planned, as well as planning group vacations for family and friends, sometimes a moment’s notice. My sister was an awesome organizer! She worked for the state of Missouri, Department of Mental Health, assisting those with developmental deficiencies. Later she worked for Epworth Children and Family Services. Denice was baptized and accepted Christ at an early age, and later became a member at FTMBC; She was a proud member of the choir.
