Mrs. Fox was born in Tuscumbia and graduated from Deshler High School, though she was a resident of Florence for most of her adult life.  She worked as a secretary for several Florence attorneys and later owned and operated a wholesale florist from the basement of her home.  She loved animals, was a wonderful seamstress and gardener and was of the Baptist faith.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
