Denyce Willis
Where I live: We live in Bella Vista on Lake Ann. We moved here from Tulsa. My husband took a missions pastor job at Grace Point Church in Bentonville. We live with my mother-in-law, who will turn 80 this year. The house is on a very small cul de sac, so that makes it very private.
Occupation: Program director at the Alzheimer's Association in Bentonville. I've just been here a year-and-a-half, coming from the Tulsa office. I've been with the organization for 10 1/2 years. My main job is to give people resources they need to get the proper diagnosis. I do monthly classes for caregivers, basically giving them support, and also for people interested in the disease. I also do a program at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art monthly for an Alzheimer's patient and his caregiver.
My favorite space: Our deck.
Why? It has an amazing view of Lake Ann. There are amazing dogwoods in bloom right now. I can sit out there and look at the lake. I sit out there to drink coffee, read a book or my Bible and pray. It's just kind of a quiet, restful place. I haven't lived in the country since I was a teen.
If I could do one thing to improve this space I would: Add more plants and flowers.
