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.

Eric, Virginia, Allison and Erica,
Know Denise loved you all so very much and she reflected all her emotions in the smile. That slight nod of her head and she would smile, telling us all she is fine with it. Judy, her dear sister and my old friend I hope you have peace.

Denise´s smile and warm heart were always such a bright light to see at our Ensemble office (*pre-Covid). I have many fond memories of various conversations we had together, work-related and otherwise... She gave great advice, and could easily make you smile - or burst out laughing, depending on the situation (which is much needed in our ever-changing business )... And she fiercely loved her family... She will be sorely missed, but those of us who had the pleasure of knowing her will *always* keep her close at heart.

With love and deepest condolences,

Meghan Leigh Winterrowd

Sorry to hear about her passing. We worked together at Aglamesis some 40 plus years ago. Always kind with a smile on her face!
