Jody Fox Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jerns Funeral Home and Cremation Services on Mar. 8, 2023.
Jody Fox (age 72) entered into rest on February 28, 2023, in Bellingham, WA surrounded by her family. Jody was born on December 14, 1950, in Sheridan, Wyoming to Arthur Kokesh and Sylvia Mathews, later being adopted by her stepfather, Burnayse Neff. Jody had many hobbies and interests, including mending clothes for her family and spending time with her two dogs, Bruce and Sammi. She cared about and loved her family more than anything. Jody was very spontaneous, and boisterous and always wanted to be the life of the party. She will also be remembered as the family glue, holding everything together. She was also a very courageous woman, willing to stick her neck out for anyone. For 35 years, Jody enjoyed the members and staff at the Suns' Retreat (Beachwood Resort) in Blaine.
She is survived by her son, Burnayse (Sandra) Maddux of Ferndale, WA; daughter, Sonya (Mike) Lindquist of Ferndale, WA; brothers, Duncan Neff of Riverton, WY, Bud Kokesh of Quilcene, WA, step-brother, Jon Larsen of Riverton, WY; sister, Lorrae Crabb of Cheyenne, WY, step-sister, JoDee Jamerman of Riverton, WY, step-sister, Connie Fenton of Shoshoni, WY; seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, Warren Fox who passed away in 2019, her parents, and her sister, Patti.

We came to know Jody as members of Beachwood. She was always someone we could count on for information and great customer service. She was my 'go to'. Our sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

Jody was an exceptional lady, a long-time friend. She and her husband were both active in our church for many years. She will be missed by both family and friends.
