Ifthere was something wrong withyour attire, you were sent back toyour room to change.”Nurses were required to sterilizeall medical items, hand sharpenneedles and mix the fluids for IVbags, which could take several hours.The students had to follow strictguidelines while in the nursingprogram. One rule was especiallydifficult for Deneka’s father tofollow.“He was always bringing me foodfrom home, which was against therules,” she said. “I remember onetime he brought me a watermelon.After my roommate and I ate it, sheput the rinds in the trash on everyfloor but ours. We were nevercaught.”When she graduated in 1946,Deneka decided to pursue her certificationin anesthesia.To do so required moving toDetroit for a year.“I was scared to death because Ihad never been outside Memphis,”she said. “I didn’t know anyonethere, but someone did pick me upWhen Deneka returned toMemphis, she began working as ananesthesia nurse at the BaptistMedical Center.She worked with several urologistsduring her time at the MedicalCenter, including Dr. ThomasMoore, who was the original ownerof Graceland.“Dr. Moore actually named itGraceland,” she said. “After hepassed away, his wife sold it to ElvisPresley for $1 million.”Within a few years of her return toMemphis, her neighbor begantrying to arrange a blind date for herwith a naval officer. Deneka turnedher down, so she took it uponherself to arrange a meeting.“I was invited to a party at themilitary base, and my neighborinvited me to go,” she said. “I didn’tknow that Harry was going to bethere, as well. We met, just kind ofclicked and were married the nextyear.”Deneka worked in anesthesiauntil 1981, when her youngest sonswere in school.Wanting to be able to spend timewith them, she left Baptist to staywith them and help her husband runhis store in Millington.However, she could not stay awayfrom health care for long. In 1986,after her youngest son graduatedhigh school, Deneka returned toBaptist, this time as a recovery roomnurse at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton.“I have worked hard all of my life,and I was never sorry that I returnedto work,” she said. “I love nursingmore than anything I have everdone.”Deneka’s supervisor, Debra Kidd,has worked with her for 25 years andsaid Deneka can still “run circles”around younger nurses.Continued on page 6
