Born October 26, 1927 in Fort McCord, she was a daughter of the late Harry and Sarah Hockersmith Etter. Early in her life she was employed at Letterkenny Army Depot.

Mrs. Fox enjoyed Bingo and watching game shows, especially Family Feud. She was a fan of several professional football teams and hoped to be able to watch a Super Bowl played by both Pennsylvania teams. She was also a fan of the Washington Capitals hockey team.
