Patsy J. “Memaw” Cox, 86, of Sherrodsville, passed away peacefully Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, surrounded by her loving family after a period of declining health.

Born Sept. 10, 1939, in Sherrodsville, she was a daughter of the late John Marvin and Garnet (Russell) Herbert. Patsy was a faithful member of Sherrodsville Calvary Church and a proud 1957 graduate of Conotton Valley High School, where she formed lifelong friendships. She later retired from the Sherrodsville Post Office after years of dedicated service.

She found joy in life’s simple pleasures — gardening in her flower beds, reading, working on puzzles and spending time with those she loved most. Patsy was also a founding member of the local women’s card club, where she played euchre weekly with her dear friends. She lived a life filled with love, laughter and devotion to her family. She cherished every moment spent with her loved ones and will be remembered for her kindness, warmth and unwavering faith. Patsy’s warmth and kindness touched everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Billy Cox; her parents; and her sister, Loretta.

She is survived by her siblings, Shirley (Ken), Gayle (Charles), Vicki, Iris, Penny (Craig) and John (Debbie); her daughters, LuRae (Trev) Elmore and Tracy (Jamie) Hidey; her grandchildren, Byron (Chandice) Elmore, Jessica (Vinnie) Russell, Chelsea (Nolan) Wolf, Taylor (Andrew) Russell, Trever (Ashleigh) Russell, Hunter (Brady) Russell, Kristin (Cory) Randles and Billy (Amanda) McLandsborough; many great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and countless people she loved and who loved her.

Funeral services were conducted at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026, in Sherrodsville Calvary Church with Pastor Kenneth D. Ogg officiating.

Calling hours were held Tuesday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Baxter-Gardner Funeral Home in Sherrodsville.

Cremation followed services, and her ashes will be interred in Sherrodsville Memorial Gardens at a later date.
