Denise went on to attend USL (Now ULL) and earned her Bachelor's in 1981; she then went back and earned her Master's in 1984. Denise taught in Vermilion Parish for many years and near the end of her career she served as the Technology Coordinator for the parish. In this role, she traveled all over southern Louisiana instructing other teachers on new computer systems. Denise loved reading, scrapbooking, crafting, and crocheting. She was so talented at crocheting that various yarn manufacturers would utilize her skill as a serial pattern tester. Denise was also a part of an international crocheting group, Cromies, where she gained an admirable social media following by teaching others her passion; she considered herself an advocate for size inclusive designs. Most of all, Denise loved spending time with her family, especially her grandkids, who will all deeply miss her loving presence.

Clark; children, Ryan Clark and Alyssa Clark (Chase) Lapeyrouse; grandsons, Emmett Clark, Sawyer Clark, Nixon Lapeyrouse, and Wyatt Lapeyrouse; granddaughter, Blake Lapeyrouse; mother, "Betty" Ann Melebeck (John) Robin; and brother, James Dale Hebert.
