Kathrine Cox Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Dorman-Riley Smith & Sons Funeral Home on Mar. 26, 2026.
Kathrine Josephine Cox, born January 26, 1938, devoted her 88 years to loving and caring for her family. She was a steady, compassionate presence whose life centered on providing for those she cherished.
She was the proud mother of six children: the late Robert Harmon , the late Patty Wilson , Sandy Anderson of Indiana, Betty Joe Bair and husband Chris of Indiana, Peggy Wilson of Bridge City, and Scott Cox and wife Laura of Jasper. She also leaves behind many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, too numerous to name but all dearly loved.
A natural caregiver with an unmatched work ethic, Kathrine spent her life supporting her family through every season. Her kindness, resilience, and quiet strength shaped all who knew her.
Kathrine's legacy lives on in the generations she nurtured and the love she gave so freely. Her family is forever grateful for the years they shared with her.
