Petra Delgado Cox

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished wife and mother, Petra Delgado Cox, who left us on September 4th, 2024, at the age of 74. Born on June 13, 1950, in Puerto de Dolores, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, she was the beloved daughter of Jose Lucio Delgado Flores and Sabina Jimenez Romero.

Petra Delgado Cox was a beacon of love, kindness, and strength. Her life was a testament to the power of compassion and the importance of family. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her loved ones, always putting their needs before her own. Her warm smile, gentle touch, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She was passionate about her profession as a professional cake decorator for over 30 years working for Randalls and Kroger, but we all know she was GAMBLER at heart!
