Jane Cox

On January 31, 2012, our beloved Maga, Jane Nadine Cox, was called home. She left this world peacefully surrounded by her family.

She was born June 26, 1925 in Nisland, South Dakota, the middle child of 13 siblings, to John Velma Kessler. She was an inspiration to many. A true Rosy Riviter, who worked in a munitions plant, raised 6 younger brothers, held both a pilots license and a teaching certificate, and on top of it all she was an awesome Mom Grandma. She touched many lives throughout the years, by caring for children in her home, cooking for her teenage grandkids their friends, and having a deep involvement in her church. She enjoyed travelling the world, visiting Alaska, Hawaii, England, the Netherlands, Scotland, and several other continental states. Her most loved hobby was playing with her 8 grandkids, and later with her 18 greatgrandkids. She was always ready to throw a baseball, read a story, or put together a puzzle. She taught each one of them the books of the Bible, and when she finally ran out of things to do for the day, she would sit and write all the names of the states and their capitals, in alphabetical order. She was an amazing woman

She was preceded in death by: her husband of 47 years, John Ervin Cox, who received her lovingly in Heaven on what would have been his 91st birthday. What better gift could there have been her sisters, Marie Terrell and Kathryn Lewis her brothers, Earl, Bill, George, Jim, Bob, and Clifford Kessler and her oldest granddaughter, Christy Cox.

A memorial service will be held at Tanglewood Church of Christ in celebration of Nadines life on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 1:00 in the afternoon with Lynn Money officiating. Sunset Memorial Gardens Funeral Home will be handling all arrangements.

The family would like to extend a special, heartfelt gratitude to all of the staff at Seabury Center Rehab for loving our Grandma just as much as we did.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent in Nadines honor to the Christy Cox Whitley Scholarship Fund at the University of Central Missouri, Warrensburg, Missouri. Give her credit for what she has accomplished, and let her works praise her in the city gates Proverbs 31:31
