Jean (Wesner) Cox

Sep 21, 1922 ~ Jul 30, 2013

ENID, Okla. — Jean Wesner Cox, the youngest daughter of Maud and Charles Wesner, was born Sept. 21, 1922, and passed from this life Tuesday, July 30, 2013.

Jean attended Alva schools and graduated from Horace Mann in 1939.

On Dec. 15, 1940, Jean was united in marriage with Fred Cox Jr. To this union were born three sons, James, David and Larry, and a daughter, Barbara.

In 1955, Jean began her studies in library science at NWOSU. Her passion for libraries was also her vocation.

Jean worked at the Alva Public library for five years before moving to Denver, where she worked in the Jefferson County Library system for 11 years.

Retiring from Jefferson County in 1986, Jean returned to Alva and once again took up the position of librarian at the Alva Library.

An avid reader, Jean also enjoyed gardening, sewing and her family. Computer scrabble, emailing family and friends, and books were sources of enjoyment for her in her latter years.

Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Fred; her sister, Helen Weigand; and two grandsons, Kenneth and Brandon.

She is survived by her sons, her daughter, eight grandsons, two granddaughters, numerous great-grandchildren and her sister, Sylvia Love.

By her request, Jean was cremated and no service will be held.

Memorial donations are welcome to the Alva Public Library in care of Marshall Funeral Home.
