Josie Lucille Cox, a long-time resident of the Pasadena area, passed away on Monday, the 20th of June, at Conroe Health Care Center.
She was born on October 10, 1918 in Hot Springs, AR to James Walter Terry and Carrie Cordelia Hall Terry who were Arkansas residents. She had four brothers and four sisters; all deceased.
