September 21, 1924 ˜ July 8, 2021
After nearly 97 years on this Earth, our beloved Mom passed away at her care home in Spokane, Washington on a beautiful sunny morning July 8, 2021.
Bev moved to the Northwest in 1942 with her family from Montevideo, Montana to Washougal, Washington, enrolled at Washougal High and graduated in 1943 with her future husband, Frank Everett Cox, Jr. After their marriage in 1945, the couple settled in Vancouver, Washington after the birth of their first son, David, in 1947, while Everett began his lifelong career as a teacher for the Vancouver School District.
While still a homemaker in 1963, Bev decided to pursue an RN degree at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, graduating in 1965. She went on to work full-time for the Kaiser-Permanente health care organization.
She will be fondly remembered as a fun-loving woman, an intrepid, caring mother and grandmother and a gregarious and sincere friend to many.
She is survived by her children, David, Norman and Karen; as well as three grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
A private internment was at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
