Neva Beatrice Cox

July 28, 1915 — October 23, 2014

Neva Severs Cox, 99, of Halls Crossroads, TN, passed away on October 23, 2014, in Knoxville. From her, generations learned about faith in God, compassion for neighbors and commitment to family. She demonstrated a servant’s heart by caring for others and shared her joy with all she encountered. Quick witted with a merry laugh, Neva kept her lively spirit until the end of her life. Neva was born in Knox County, TN, to Frank and Martha Severs, sharing her childhood with seven brothers and sisters and an abundant number of cousins. In 1934, she married Rev. Samuel Ralph Cox and enjoyed 63 years of marriage. Being with her family brought her great joy. She was a longtime member of Milan Baptist Church and treasured her relationships built there. Neighbors in Halls and Clearwater FL delighted her. She was preceded in death by husband Ralph and daughter Delores “Dottie” Bennett. She is survived by son Richard Cox; grandsons: Tony Bennett, Terry Bennett, Tim Bennett, Adam Cox; nine great-grandchildren; and countless in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Visitation will be held at Mynatt Funeral Home Halls Chapel Sunday, October 26, 2014, 5-7 p.m., with memorial service immediately following at 7 p.m., officiated by Rev. Kevin Roberts. Family and friends will meet 1:45 p.m. Monday, October 27, 2014 at Milan Baptist Church Cemetery (Maynardville) for 2 p.m. graveside service. Memorial gifts can be sent to Children’s Hospital of Knoxville. www.mynattfh.com
