Claudia Cox Obituary
Claudia Manuela Cox, 49, of Little Egg Harbor, NJ, passed away on Monday December 9th, 2024. Born and raised in Newark, NJ, Claudia lived in Manahawkin, NJ, for 20 years before moving to Little Egg Harbor in April of this year. Claudia worked as a shift manager at AutoZone in Barnegat, NJ, previously working for New York Community Bank for 16 years, and was a member of St. Theresa’s church in Little Egg Harbor. More than anything, Claudia cherished spending time with her family, who she loved dearly.
