Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Wynne and Molly Shuck Wommack, and her precious husband of 67 years, James E. “Ed” Cox.

She attended Decatur Girls High, the University of GA, and Business School. She was active in the former Doraville A.R. Presbyterian Church, then later in Peachtree Corners A.R. Presbyterian Church as long time Children’s Sunday School teacher, Women’s Bible Study leader, and in Community Outreach. She also loved attending Bible Study Fellowship. Jean was long respected in her love of sharing her love of Christ and is rejoicing with Him even today. An accomplished artist in watercolors, acrylics, and pencil, her works adorn the walls of family across the South.

She was a very much loved Wife, Mama, Granny (Granny Jean to some), and Great Granny. She was quite the Southern lady with so many more stories to tell.
