Nancy Cox

Nancy Cox, born on April 2, 1940, left this earth on October 28, 2024. A dedicated educator and beloved member of her community, Nancy worked in the Arlington Independent School District for over 30 years, retiring in 2005. She touched the lives of hundreds of students and inspired countless colleagues.

Nancy is survived by her husband of 60 years, Pete Cox; her son, Shawn Cox; and her daughters, Sandye Cox and wife Jan Beavers, and Lynette Villarreal and husband George Villarreal. She cherished her role as a grandmother to five grandchildren: Jeremy Cox, Jacob Cox and wife Amanda, Jenna Cox, Emily Catlin, and Braden Fulghum-Cox. Nancy was also blessed by her two great-grandchildren, Reagan Cox and Ben Cox.

Nancy's warmth, kindness, and unwavering spirit will be deeply missed by all who were lucky to know her.
