Obituary

Jean was born on December 18, 1931 in Hope, AR to Clyde J. and Otis (Gleghorn) Arnold.   Jean graduated Hope High School in 1950.  After marrying in 1954 at the First Baptist Church, Jean moved from Hope to Waco, TX to join her husband William J. ‘Bill’ Cox, Jr.  Over the course of the next several years Bill and Jean had their children. During early married life, Jean was a stay-at-home mom and homemaker – performing all the requisite ‘mom’ duties including, but not limited to:  PTA President, CABC YWA Leader, Girl Scout Cookie Chairman and YWCA Swim Instructor.  It was during this time that the family enjoyed the outdoors including Texas’ Colorado River, specifically Gorman Falls. Once introduced, through Columbus Avenue Baptist Church, to many of McLennan County’s deaf and hearing impaired, Jean became personally, professionally and academically active with this community – ultimately retiring from Central Texas Council for the Deaf/Hearing Impaired as their Coordinator.  Following retirement, Bill and Jean enjoyed motor homing with their Waco friends and traveling with family.  Jean also enjoyed years of serving on the Waco Federation of Women’s Club Board with friend Carol Kolb.  Jean was passionate regarding her genealogical work on the Arnold and Cox families. Jean entered into rest on May 25, 2017.  Jean is preceded in death by:  daughter Carolinda Cox (1958), sister-in-law Benja L. (Seale) Arnold (2000), brother William R. ‘Bill’ Arnold (2002), sister-in-law Joy L. (Collins) Arnold (2004), husband Bill Cox (2008), brother-in-law R. Dale Hubbard (2015), son Wm. Joel Cox III (2015) and grandson Daniel M. Reierson (2016). Jean is survived by:  daughter Barbara G. (Cox) Maley and son-in-law Samuel G. ‘Sam’ Maley; sister Sylvia D. (Arnold) Hubbard; brother Clyde J. ‘Buddy’ Arnold; granddaughter Tiffinee L. (Cox) Hart and husband John Hart; great-grandchildren:  John Jr., Sarah, Josalyn, Maddie and Samuel; nieces and nephew:  India, Ann, Bill, Clyda, Lee Ann, Fern, Amy and Brandi; as well as their spouses and children. The family gratefully acknowledges kindnesses extended by Terri Nix (lovingly referred to as ‘daughter #2’) and the staff and residents of CHRISTUS St. Joseph Village, Coppell.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
