Mary Cox Obituary

Mary Elizabeth "Lib" Bennett Cox passed away on Tuesday April 2, 2019 at Sardis Oaks Nursing Facility in Charlotte. She was 91. Her son and daughter were at her side.

Lib was born on December 3rd 1927 in Charlotte and was the daughter of Martha Ray Bennett and Clyde Bennett.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Jack H. Cox, her eldest son Jack H. Cox Jr and her sister Frances B. Welsh. Survivors are her daughter Pamela Cox Plummer and son Barry Albert Cox of Charlotte and many nieces and nephews.

She attended Brevard College and generally had a good time and made lots of friends. After raising her three children she worked in women's retail clothing for many years. As a member of Park Road Baptist Church she taught Sunday school.

Lib had a colorful personality and her talent was getting people to laugh. She loved to give. Friends that came to visit rarely left empty handed. She will be missed by friends and family.

Pam and Barry, so sorry for your loss. I hired your mom at Gallant's. While most of my interviews lastest 10-20 minutes, the interview with Lib was over an hour. Her spirit and love of life was very infectious... She made my days at work very bright and filled with sunshine! I adored her and she will always have a special place in my heart. I pray that God will bless you with peace, comfort and wonderful memories during this difficult time.

Pam and Barry you are my thoughts and prayers. My fondest memories go way back to our times of fun at Bingo and all Lib antics. She certainly knew how to keep us laughing. She was a great cook and I enjoyed many meals around the kitchen table. I will be forever grateful for the beautiful wedding shower she gave me. I'm sure she was met by Jack and Jackie and of course Susie to transition to whole again. No more suffering. Love you both.
