Fanny Rogers Wilcox was born on December 29, 1939 to the late Oscar and 
Christine Wilcox in Columbus, Georgia.  Since her father was a member of the 
Army Air Corps, which later became the United States Air Force, Fan was raised 
in many locations, including California and Okinawa.  She was a graduate of 
Biloxi Central High School, Biloxi, Mississippi and later received her BA degree 
from Asbury College, Wilmore, Kentucky.  She later received her MA degree from 
Mercer University in Macon, Georgia and then had an add-on in visual 
disabilities from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. She taught 
French and English at Jordan High School in Columbus and then taught the same 
two subjects at the Georgia Academy of the Blind in Macon. Fan then became an 
itinerant teacher for the blind/visually impaired in Athens, Columbus and DeKalb 
County.  After retirement in 1992, she lived in Blairsville, Buena Vista and 
Americus.

Before and after retirement, Fan traveled with a group of friends to various 
interesting places, including Canada, California, New England, the Panama Canal, 
Hawaii, Egypt, Australia and New Zealand.

Fan is survived by many cousins and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to Buena 
Vista United Methodist Church, PO Box 449, Buena Vista, GA 31803 or to Americus 
First United Methodist Church, 200 South Lee St., Americus, GA 31709.
