Predeceased by her parents Harold and Catherine (Stevens) Cox, brother Herman (Elaine) Cox and sister Joyce (Ken) Walsh. She will be fondly remembered by John (Linda) Lindsay and family.

She also ran computer systems for Jarvis Clark and Multi-Care Systems and she spent time as Director of the Sudbury Industrial Training Academy at Cambrian College.
