Donna Marie (Dean) Cox
– 86, Salmon River, Truro. With heavy hearts we announce the
peaceful passing of Donna Cox on December 14, 2024. Donna was born in
1938 in Dean Settlement, Nova Scotia, to Cecil and Annie Dean. Donna
is survived by her husband of 66 years, Percy Cox; children, Tony Cox
(Janet), Merrill Cox (Shelley), Mark Cox (Julie) and Royce Cox
(Tracy); grandsons, Chris and Connor. She was predeceased by her
parents and siblings, Earl Dean, Ruben Dean, Thelma (Dean) Burris,
Audrey (Dean) Prest and Ruth Dean.
Donna was a graduate
of Provincial Normal College in Nova Scotia and taught briefly before
marrying her sweetheart and settling in Truro to raise their four
sons. She loved being a mother and one of the ways she showed this was
by preparing countless home cooked meals, you name it, she cooked it!
Anyone who knew Donna would most likely have had a sampling of her
delicious baked goods and tasty meals!
Donna was also a very
talented musician. It was truly inspiring how she could play the piano
‘by ear’, and at the age of 65, she took up the
fiddle! She truly enjoyed this new passion and would regularly play
‘old time music’ with her fiddle
group.
Donna’s love
of music and dancing brought her great joy throughout her life; she
and Percy were regulars at the local dances well into their senior
years. She was a gentle soul who always appreciated the little things
and would often share her observations about how vibrant the green
grass was or how blue the sky; and she was genuinely grateful for
it.
Alongside her gracious
manner was also a great sense of humour; laughter was a staple in the
Cox household! Upon entering her home, there was always a warm welcome
and a huge hug with offers of delicious food not far
behind!
Donna will be missed
beyond words by all who knew her; she has left a hole in our hearts
that can never be filled.
The family would like
to thank the staff of Colchester East Hants Health Center who were
involved in her care.
Arrangements have been
entrusted to Mattatall-Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro
where visitation will be held from 2-4 pm on Saturday, December 21,
2024. A private graveside service will be held at a later date.
