COX
Mary Frances Cox (June 21,1948-July, 2021) may have been Ionia's most avid 
reader. From an early age, her interests were wide, varied, and never waned. 
History, one of her favorite subjects, made a living presence via her cats, all 
named after Russian czars or carinas, all treated as royalty.

After graduating from Saints Peter & Paul Academy in 1966, it was no surprise 
that she was granted a full scholarship to Aquinas College where Mary earned her 
BA in History, with minors in Education, English, and German. A second 
scholarship led to a Master of Library and information Services at the 
University of Michigan. From there she held various positions over the years at 
local libraries including those at Ionia County Memorial Hospital and Grand 
Valley State University.

The only child of Helen & Francis Cox, Mary passed away in July, 2021. She was 
preceded in death by her parents and several cousins, most recently her beloved 
Jon Caswell in 2019. Mary Frances will be remembered by her family and friends 
for her formidable intellect, comedic dead-pan humor, and generosity for those 
in need.

A funeral Mass will be said on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at 11:A.M. at Saints Peter 
& Paul catholic Church. following the service, she will be interred at Mt.Olivet 
Cemetery with her parents. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to S.S.Peter & Paul Church, 434 High 
Street, Ionia, Mi. 48846, For line: Jon Caswell Library if sending a check.
