Mrs. Cox is preceded in death by her husband George E.

Blanche worked for the Macon County Engineers Department as a secretary and retired after 25 years of service.  She was a devoted Christian, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, daughter and sister.  She never met a stranger and loved a good joke.  Her humor and laughter were infectious.  Her compassion and kindness for others was genuinely heartfelt.  Memories will live on in our hearts and her presence will be greatly missed by all that were blessed to have known her. 

A special thanks to Lake Martin Hospice group and her loving caregivers Denise and Tonya.
