Emma Cox Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kerr Brothers Funeral Home - Main St. on Jan. 16, 2026.
Emma Lee Cox was born on May 7, 1938, in Barboursville, WV. She passed away the morning of January 14, 2026, in Lexington, KY, after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease.
She was a dedicated nurse for over 30 years, retiring from the VA Medical Center in Huntington, WV.
Emma was loved and will be greatly missed by her daughter Kim Wolfe (Mike), and her grandchildren Erik and Addie Wolfe.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Katherine Woods and brother, Edgar Woods.
As requested, Emma will be returned to WV, bypassing a formal service. She simply wanted to remind everyone to love one another and hug their families every day to celebrate her life.
Her family would like to extend special thanks to The Willows at Hamburg Legacy Lanes for the loving care she received in her final years.
