Lowell R. Cox

A true “Southern gentleman,” Lowell seemed to have a purpose-driven life of providing care for his family from his youth forward. He exuded that caregiving spirit with a promise and commitment to take care of his own. A fair-minded man, he always seemed to have a kind word to share. He enjoyed watching big time pro wrestling and cherished any opportunity to treat his nieces and nephews to a “soda pop.”
Lowell proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for six years and then in the United States Navy for nearly 24 years.
In addition to his father and mother, Lowell was preceded in death by four siblings: Noah Cox, Shelby Cox, Clara Schort, and Jewell Helton.
He leaves behind three sisters: Irma Cox, Georgia M. Wells, and Wilma (Harlie) Mink, along with several nieces and nephews. He was dearly loved and will be deeply missed.

Friday, November 1, 2019, at Dowis Chapel Cemetery in Woodbine, Kentucky. Full military rites will be conducted by the American Legion Post 88 Honor Guard.
