Dorothy Cox

Dorothy “Dottie” Mae Cox (nee Smith), of Saint Peters, MO, passed away Sunday, May 16, 2021 at the age of 90. Beloved wife of the late Charles A Cox; cherished daughter of the late Phillip Smith and Helen Peters. Devoted mother of Randy (Patricia) Cox, Debra (Steven) Maher, and the late Rick Cox; loving grandmother of Mark Cox, Michael Cox, Jeremy (Jacelyn) Cox, Alicia Chandler, Kristy (Chris) Ross, Amanda Walker, Joshua Walker, David Buehrle, and the late Amy Walker; treasured great-grandmother of Thomas Cox, Mckenzie Cox, Tyler Cox, Cameron Cox, Carson Cox, Tommy Green, Ally Green, Austin Cox, Hunter Cox, Declan Ross, Brynlee Ross, Logan Walker, Landon Walker, Syler Oldfield, and Swayzee Walker; dear sister of the late Charlotte Bohler; beloved aunt and cousin of many. Dorothy was preceded in death by Beloved Dog, Max.

Dottie’s second family was her beloved Girl Scouts and Girl Scout camps, especially Tuckaho. Dottie was such a great mentor to many through Girl Scouting. She loved making crafts and screen printing. When Dottie was not at Scouts, she was more than likely at one of the grandkids sporting events. She enjoyed hosting foreign exchange students and foster children. She liked working out in the yard and feeding the wildlife in the backyard. Thursdays were a special day with the girls at the Beauty College, where she would get her hair done. She would also join the girls at Golden Corral. Dottie spent earlier years volunteering at schools, including Springdale Elementary. She was also an avid member of the Lion’s Club.

Dorothy was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Memorials may be made in Dorothy's name to Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri.
