Diane Noel Cox passed away on Thursday, January 15, 2026, in Oklahoma City, OK. She was born December 26, 1942, to Harry H. Reams and Julia Rose (Hantsch) Reams in San Pedro, California.

Diane was a homemaker and worked part time at Mother's Day out while living in Oklahoma City. She enjoyed spending time with her dog, Daisy, cooking, reading, crafts, and her friends. She also loved bird watching.

Diane volunteered weekly at her church, Bella Vista Methodist Church. She directed Shoe Box Ministries and would deliver to local shelters and local schools as well. She loved spending time with her family and friends. She was a devoted wife, mother and Memom.

Diane was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved spouse of 45 years, Bobby Cox; and sister, Nancy Vance.

She is survived by her daughter, Traci Miller and her husband, Danny; her grandchildren, Alexis and Jacob Arnold; and niece, Kim Banco and her husband Ron. She will be greatly missed.

We all know how much Diane loved Daisy, her rescue dog. She also would take blankets and food to the animal shelter. For all who wish to honor her life, you are invited to donate to Bella Vista Animal shelter. (bellavista-animalshelter.org)
