Daughter of Gainum George Cox (Uncle Bud) & Sarah Adeline (Sade) Hopper McBee.
Della was a loving, hard working mother & Grannie who always put her family and others before her very own needs.
She took care of her ailing mother-in-law, Louisa Angeline Carter Burnett, in the later years of her life. Louisa Angeline & her son Jemsey lived with Della & Cleatus along with their three children in a three room home since the passing of her Civil War Veteran husband J.P.K. Butnett in 1929.
I, my sisters, brothers & cousins relish the precious memories we have as a "youngins" of the good times spent with our grandparents, helping with chores from churning butter, carrying water in lard cans from a spring, bringing in fire wood for cooking & heating, helping with washing clothes outside in an iron pot heated by wood, gathering eggs, helping pick & can vegetables, to going to Bill Graves Store to buy a nickles worth of coal oil with always an extra nickle from Papo to buy an ice cold dope. Time marches own but the love & affection for both Grannie & Papo will live in our hearts & minds forever.
