Ollie Katherine Cox (March 12, 1940 – July 20, 2024)  - Previously of Blockhouse Valley Road, Clinton, Tennessee

Katherine joined her husband, Paul I. Cox and our savior on Saturday, July 20, 2024.  Katherine loved her family and was dedicated to each member.  The light of her eye was her grandson and great grandsons.   She always made time to take her grandson fishing or to places like Dollywood as he grew up.  The other thing that Katherine along with her husband never missed was their daughter and grandson's sporting events. The great grandsons called her "Grandma in the Mail" as they got to enjoy the surprises received in the mail that she sent them.

Throughout the years, Katherine was known for her green thumb.  She had many flowers and loved to plant/care for them.  People always asked her advice on how to take care of them.  She always welcomed the chance to help.  Katherine was also known for loving bright beautiful colors like her flowers.  She loved to wear bright clothes.

Throughout the years there has been a lot of special friends and family.  To her sisters, Joean and Drema, please know that she loved you both dearly.
