Nellie Cox Obituary

Nellie Mae Bonnecarrere Cox

1923 ~ 2015

Bay St. Louis, MS

Just before sunrise on March 9th, 2015, Nellie Mae Bonnecarrere Cox was gently and peacefully led home to Jesus. She was 91.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Rev. J. P. & Sadie Stouflett Bonnecarrere; 4 brothers; 3 sisters; her husband of 60 years, Clayton Cox; and her daughter, Susan Stafford.

She is survived by a sister, Joyce Campbell; a brother, Donald Bonnecarrere; a daughter, Cindy Chambers; and daughter Penny Caldwell & her husband Jim. Her six grandchildren are Tim Zdrazil & wife Cori; Charles Zdrazil & wife Kenya; Jessica Dougherty & husband Mike; Evan Lynch & wife Stephanie; Lucas Caldwell; and Chelsea Morton & husband Joel. Presently she has 17 great grandchildren!

She was born in Kentwood, LA on November 7th, 1923. She was a devoted wife and mother, who also gave herself wholly to the service of the Lord. She had an incredible gift of teaching & working with children. She loved people. She took every opportunity to volunteer for church and charity; with a special love for the elderly. Even in her last years as a resident of Dunbar Village, she had a tremendous impact on those who knew her.

We wish to express our deepest thanks to the staff at Dunbar Village for their loving care of our mother, and to Gentiva Hospice as well. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
