BRIGHAM CITYa"Our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Wanda Weidmann Cox returned to her Father in Heaven Thursday, March 7, 2002, in Brigham City, Utah. Her death was a result of the Alzheimer's disease from which she suffered for more than 10 years. Wanda was born February 14, 1918, in Bear River, Box Elder County, Utah to Joseph Lorenzo and Mary Orme Weidmann.

She married Rex Eugene Cox on June 14, 1941. The ceremony was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Rex Eugene Cox, three children, Karollynn (Clint) Balmforth, Murray, R.Wayne (Marilyn) Cox, Ogden; and Linda Kae Cox Olsen, Bountiful. She dearly loved her grandchildren: Jeffrey E. Balmforth, Kristilynn Burgess, Karylee Webb, Rock Eugene Olsen, Stacee Cox Burton and Erin Howard. She is also survived by 12 great-grandchildren. Her twin brother, Wayne (Alice)Weidman lives in Tremonton. She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister Mona, and two brothers, Virgil and Byron.

Wanda was a Registered Nurse and worked for over 30 years, 15 years for the Bureau of Indian Affairs at the Intermountain Indian School Infirmary. She loved the Native American children and people with whom she worked. Many call her friend. She was a dedicated and compassionate nurse, bringing comfort by her skill and warmth.

Wanda loved to golf, garden, sew, crochet, knit, cook, and preserve fruits and vegetables. She volunteered for the Red Cross. She was Relief Society President, Mutual President, and Gospel Doctrine Teacher in the Brigham 18th Ward.

Those who knew and loved Wanda will miss her friendly ways. The family wishes to express its appreciation to the caregivers at the Brigham City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, formerly the Godfrey Nursing Home. Their expressions of love for Wanda demonstrated the positive impact she had on them even with the effects of the disease.
