Jean Fox Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Frain Mortuary - Winamac on Feb. 5, 2026.
Jean Ann "Nan" Fox, 70, of Star City, IN, passed away at White Oak Health Campus in Monticello, IN on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. She was born on October 13, 1955, in Logansport, IN to the late Henry Oscar and Martha Murlene (Crist) Cornell.

Nan attended Star City Schools before graduating from Winamac High School in 1973. While in high school, she met the love of her life, Thomas P. "Tom" Fox. On December 13, 1975, Nan married Tom at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Pulaski, IN. She was proud to be a farmer's wife and devoted her life to caring for her family and supporting the farm.

Nan graduated from Wright Beauty Academy and worked in several local salons before dedicating most of her time to raising her children and supporting the family farm. She also served on the Board of Directors for the Pulaski White Rural Telephone Cooperative for 12 years.

Nan was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church and the Christian Mothers. She enjoyed casinos, bowling, baking, playing cards, attending festivals, and traveling. In life, she was one of the luckiest people. Whether it was a raffle, slot machine, lottery ticket, or a game of Yahtzee she was always winning. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren, who brought her endless joy.
