Mary L. Fox, age 90, of Freedom

Mary L. Fox, age 90, of Freedom, passed away surrounded by her loving family April 12, 2023 at her residence.

 

She was born November 12, 1932 in Lebanon, Kentucky to the late Robert and Teresa (Stapp) Cox. She was married to Norman Fox on May 25, 1949, and he survives.

Mary loved all kinds of gardening, and her lovely gardens created a beautiful setting for another hobby: birdwatching. She was also an avid

reader.
