Denise Ann Cone (nee Melia), beloved wife of 41 years to Eric Tuke Cone, loving mother of Virginia (Scott) Reynolds, Allison Cone, and Erica (Nick) Schwegman, proud Grandmother to Ainsley, Callum, and Aubree. Passed peacefully on March 7, 2022. She was preceded in death by parents Joseph M. and Jean F. Melia.

Denise was a graduate of Regina High School in 1976. During her high school years, she worked at Aglamesis Brothers in Montgomery where she met Eric and the rest was history. Denise went on to graduate from Xavier University in 1980, the same year that she married Eric. She brought love and joy to our lives with her funny sense of humor. One of our fondest memories of her was watching her gardening with her grandchildren.
