She shared 53 devoted years of marriage with him, building a life rooted in faith, love, and kindness, before his death in 2019.

She had a deep love for music and was an accomplished pianist. For many years, she faithfully served as choir director at Central Christian Church, where music was her ministry.

She is survived by her children, James L. Fox Jr. (Ursula) and Julie Fox, her sister, Susan Harpole (James), her grandchildren, Samantha, James Thomas, Morgan and Jordan, and a great grandson Dakota. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Larry, her parents, William and Talula, and a grandson, Cody.
