Martha Elaine Cox, 67, passed away Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013, surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer that lasted 15 years.
As an ICU Registered Nurse at Duke Medical Center for 36 years, Martha devoted her life to caring for others. She received her Diploma in Nursing from Holzer School of Nursing in Gallopolis, Ohio., her BSN from NC Central University, and her Masters of Science from Duke University. She counciled many other cancer patients during her battle and gave them the courage to face their own illness. She was an inspiration to others as she continued to work for over 13 years while receiving more than 150 chemotherapy treatments, radiation and multiple surgeries. Even during her constant battle with cancer she always put others first.
Funeral services will be conducted Sunday, October 6, 2013. 2:00 PM at Eakes Funeral Chapel in Creedmoor by Dr. Mitch Simpson. Burial will follow at Carolina Memorial Gardens.
She is survived by her husband of 33 years, Joseph B. Cox Sr, her daughter Abby Cox Ray, and her son Joseph B. Cox Jr., her sister, Lindsey Johnson (Bill), her brother, Frank Hutchinson (Shirley), her grandchildren, Madeline Leann Cox and Jaxson Lee Ray. She was predeceased by her parent Linzie and Mildred Hutchinson, sisters, Thelma Cooper, Agnes Omohundro and Freda Conley, brothers Billy Hutchinson and Dana Hutchinson.
Visitation will be held at the Eakes Funeral Home in Creedmoor on Saturday, October 5th, 2013 from 6:30 to 8:30 and at other times at the home.

Joe and family, we send our deepest sympathy to all of you. Martha must have been a very special person who unfortunately I never had the privilege of knowing. What a legacy to have devoted her life to caring for others while she was fighting her own battles. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers, Joe. Love, Bill & Buddie (Cox) Poovey

Nursing has truly lost one of its angels. Martha patiently taught me how to be a nurse and helped me through some dark times. She will be missed by all.

Joe and family,
May it comfort you to know Martha has passed into a place of eternal peace and beauty. Martha was such a loving and giving person; never meeting a stranger and always embracing those around her, regardless of who they were. I loved her and considered her one of my closest friends. Her loving spirit will be with us always.
