Pacey Short Asheville NC – Denise Ward Cody, 59, of Asheville, NC went to her Heavenly home on July 28th, 2020 at Memorial Mission Hospital. Denise was conceived November ninth, 1960 in Buncombe County, where she lived every last bit of her life.

Denise epitomized a blend of affection and strength that a couple in this world could equal. She was a furious defender and protector of those she cherished. She spent her 20’s working in weaving plants, and when the material business left, she changed to medical services and continued to be a guardian of every one of the people around her for the remainder of her life. She lived for her family and took extraordinary joy interfacing with the natural life (particularly the bears) in her patio.

Denise is gone before in death by her folks, James Ward and Doris Burleson.

She is made due by her dearest spouse and perfect partner of 42 years, Timothy Cody; her girl, Christen Short and child in-law, Cory Short of Asheville; her sisters, Sherry Lawing of Swannanoa and Cindy Dunn of Leicester; her grandkids, Ezekiel Bauer and Aubrey Bauer; and her progression grandkids Avery Short, Pacey Short, and Ayla Short.

The family will get companions at Landmark Missionary Baptist Church on Sunday, August second from 2 pm – 4 pm. A festival of life administration will be held following. The entombment will be in Mountain View Memorial Park.
