Denise Chadek (nee: Celeste), age 62 of Mt. Pleasant, passed away on Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at Froedtert Hospital, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
She was born on September 17, 1958 in Racine, the daughter of the late James V. and Theresa M. (nee: Funk) Celeste Sr.
Denise was a proud 1976 graduate of St. Catherine’s High School.
On October 23, 1982 in St. Sebastian Catholic Church, Sturtevant, she was united in marriage to her soulmate, Thomas D. Chadek.
Denise worked in accounting at Poclain Hydraulics for over twenty years.
A lifelong member of St. Sebastian Catholic Church, she enjoyed baking and sharing with others (including her many famous recipes for poppyseed bread, scotch-a-roos, and more), spoiling her dog Eagle, going to concerts, playing softball in her early years, family traditions, staying connected with her loved ones, and always welcoming others with open arms – “There’s always room for one more”.
Survivors include her husband, Tom; her three children, Carrie (Steven Jr.) Slater, Ryan (Rachel) Chadek, and Kyle Chadek; her grandchildren, Gianna and Maverick; her siblings, Joan (Greg Helding) Celeste, James V.

I am so very sad to hear of Denise’s death, my heart aches for her family. I met Denise several years ago when we were coworkers at MJ Therapy, and we soon became friends. Denise was always a loyal friend, a very caring person (she never missed sending me birthday and Christmas cards), and a dedicated worker. Denise was happiest when she was with her family, whom she adored, talking about them brought a big smile to her face and a sparkle in her eyes. Through Denise my husband and I met Tom and were blessed to know them both as dear friends. There are no words that can diminish the pain of this immeasurable loss, but know you are in our prayers.

Our hearts are breaking for Denise’s family. We were shocked to hear of her passing. The Celeste’s were my 2nd family growing up. Denise (DeeDee) was my Confirmation Sponsor and always there with sisterly advise over the years.
Praying for Tom and their family that they find comfort in the countless memories. <3
Love & hugs,
