Betty Jean (Tilman) Cox

Born in 1924, Betty was 97 years young, a vivacious wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and

friend. Besides her Church and Family, music was her lifelong passion. In sharing her love of music,

Betty’s favorite pastime was being the Director of Music Makers – a little ragtime band that entertained

the elderly at homes and facilities throughout the Charlotte area.

Betty enthusiastically embraced life and learning, always having the desire and courage to try anything,

from riding in Nascar racecars to earning the title of Techno Granny.

Betty is preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, George G Cox, Jr. She leaves on earth her

children, Susan Prescott (Roy), Bob Cox (Debbie), Betsy Mayer, Edith Cox, Bill Cox (Darlene),

grandchildren Bryan Mayer (Jamie), Tyler Prescott (Lanier), Carrie Prescott (Jorge Lagares), Corey

Prescott (Cory), Melissa Cox and Brad Cox (Rachael). She also leaves behind 11 wonderful great

grandchildren.

Memorials can be made to Hickory Grove United Methodist Church Building Fund or We

Care/Snackpack program.
