Gloria M. Cody

Gloria M. (DeLorenzo) Cody of Braintree, died December 13, 2020 at the age of 94.

Gloria lit up a room with her smile. She was fun loving, hard working and liked by everybody she met. She grew up in the Bronx, making life long memories with her extended Italian American family. These memories continued being made as the family moved to Weymouth when Gloria was 12. She attended Weymouth schools and kept in touch with several of her school friends throughout her life. For many years she worked for Verizon and later for South Shore VNA,, retiring when she turned 90. She enjoyed bowling, music, dancing, family gatherings, and had warm recollections of days fishing with her husband in NH. 

She was the wife of the late William F. Cody, Sr. Loving mother of William F. Cody, Jr. of Hull, Linda A. Cody of Hingham, and Susan M. Cody of Lexington. Sister of Marie Denberger of WA, Judy Strahan of Kingston, the late Frank DeLorenzo, and the late Josephine Swett. Devoted “Gram” to Megan R. Curtis of Somerville, Adam W. Curtis of Auburn, ME, Heather Hanrieder of Clearwater, FL and her great grandson Eric Cody Hansen. Also survived by several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
