She moved to Tacoma, Wash., where she had two children, Levi Jerome Liebelt and Jessica Ann Liebelt. She then moved back to Portland where she lived from 1983-89 and then she moved to Grand Ronde, Ore. Denise worked for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and went to school to get her registered nurse certification and worked in the Elders disability nursing home. Sometime afterward, Denise became disabled herself and made her residence on the Grand Ronde Reservation. She loved to go to the beach and collect seashells and rocks. She called his her “water therapy.” She loved being with her family and grandchildren. She loved to color with her grandchildren and loved monkeys. She loved her culture and traditions, and loved to watch her grandchildren dance. She was very proud of them. She loved her animals, Sissy and Gracy. Denise also liked to bake treats with her grandchildren to pass out to her family. For the last part of her years, she took care of her mother as well. Denise was 59 years old when she passed away in Grand Ronde. She was preceded in death by her father, Bud Haskins Sr.; husband, Leroy Lee Liebelt; brother, Buddy Haskins Jr.; sister, Debbie Haskins; and brother, Nathaniel (Fig) Jackson.

Want to receive the Tribal publication on your computer instead of waiting for it to arrive in the mail? Want to get up-to-date and in-the-know about the Grand Ronde Tribe before anyone else? Well, here’s your opportunity. In an effort to be more efficient and reduce costs, smok signflz subscribers receive a PDF (portable document format) version sent to them instead of a newsprint version sent via the mail. All you need on your computer is Adobe Acrobat or another program that can read a PDF and, viola, you’re set. Why would you want to do that? The PDF version is available before the newspaper is sent to our Salem printing contractor. You can read the paper on your computer or print out a copy or individual pages yourself. And you will receive Tribal news much faster than the current standard mailing utilized by the Tribe. If you would like to receive an e-mailed PDF version of smok signflz and stop receiving a mailed newsprint version, send your e-mail to esubscription@grandronde.org. cultural education A re you missing out on what Cultural Education has to offer?
