Lee Edward Cox

We are honored to inform you that on Sunday, September 17, 2017, Lee Edward Cox received a new set of lungs as he entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was preceded in death by his wife Madge W Cox, son James E Cox, brothers Herbert Cox, Willie Cox, Ernest Cox, and Benton Cox, and sister Della Mae White.

Whited and husband, Howard of Bristol, VA, and Linda Cox of MD; eight grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews, cousins, his church family and far too many friends to list. A funeral service will be held 11:00 a.m. Friday, September 22, 2017 at the City Point Restoration Church of God, 2300 Bluefield St., Hopewell, VA 23860.
