Bio
Deanna Cox, 82, of Kansas City, Missouri died peacefully on September 7, 2022, with her family at her side. Dee was born to Fritz and Nora Obermiller, July 6, 1940, in Loup City, Nebraska. She graduated from Loup City High School and Mary Lanning School of Nursing in Hastings, NE. As a registered nurse, she worked at Veterans Administration Hospital, St. Mary's, and Trinity Hospital in Kansas City, MO, and the Clay County Public Health Department. In 1961, she married Larry Cox. Dee dedicated her life to caring for others. Her kind and gentle manner endeared her to her patients, but none more so than her family and friends. She was a talented seamstress and crafter who generously made many clothes and gifts for family and friends. Her talent was exemplified in designing and constructing wedding dresses for her daughters. She was as a fine spring rain after a dry winter. Devotion to family, friends, and those in her care were the hallmarks of her long well-lived life. Dee was preceded in death by brothers Dennis and Roger Obermiller. She is survived by her husband and daughters, Catherine (Rick) Dobkin and Jennifer (Marvin "Pony") Meyer; sister, Nancy (Jerry) Rowe; brother, Doug (Chris) Obermiller; and sister-in-law, Deborah Obermiller; four grandchildren Madison St. John, Lincoln Meyer, Tess and Sophie Dobkin; and two great grandchildren, Oliver and Knox St. John. A memorial service will be held later in her hometown of Loup City, Nebraska. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in her name to The Alzheimer's Association or the Sherman County Foundation, Loup City, NE.
