WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Phyllis Cox of Hingham, MA passed away on January 4th, 2019 at the age of 75 from non-smokers lung cancer. The wife of 53 years of Dr. Jim Cox (her best friend), Phyllis is survived by her daughter and 2 sons as well as 7 grandchildren and her 2 adored dogs.
Phyllis grew up on Oahu and attended Punahou until the family moved to
Longmeadow, MA, where she graduated from high school, followed by Brown
University (Class of 1965) and the MGH Institute of Health Professions graduate
medical social work program. She worked for over 35 years as a medical social
worker and also taught yoga for over 20 years, mentoring many teachers. She
volunteered at her kids schools and activities, served on the Board of
Registration and Licensure for MA Social Workers, and interviewed for Brown
University for many years.
As the adult who played, Phyllis loved entertaining her grandchildren. And to
say they simply adored her would be an understatement. An avid reader, she also
enjoyed walking her dogs daily, working out and practicing yoga with friends,
gardening, learning to play bridge, and following Boston sports teams. She
loved traveling to warmer climates, including Bermuda, Turks and Caicos,
Hawaii, Virginia, Marin County, CA, and Tanzania.
In her memory, Phyllis requests that you play with your kids and grandkids,
walk your dogs, and/or practice yoga.
