Susan K. Cox

On September 11, Susan took the hand of her Savior as He met her at the Eastern Gate of Heaven.  She loved to sing the song that “When He takes me by the hand and leads me to the Promise Land, what a day, glorious day that would be.”

Susan was born into a musical family started by her late father, Victor who, as a multi-talented musician, led the Talk of the Town band.  She was a powerful vocalist with the Prevue’s, Ivory Coach and upon giving her life over to the Lord, she became a member of the gospel group, Shekinah along with her brother, Jeff and husband, Terry.  Her passion was singing for the Lord as she touched many lives with her “one-of-a-kind” voice.

Born September 24, 1949, in New Brighton, she was the daughter of the late Victor and Ethel (Howe) Maybray Sr.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Connie Sue Maybray. Victor Maybray, Jr., William Maybray, Sr., Jeffrey Maybray,  and beloved nephew, William Maybray, Jr.

Susan is survived by her childhood sweetheart and loving husband of 55 years, Terry L. Cox; five sisters-in-laws:  Lori (Owen) Corcoran; Sally Maybray, Juanita Maybray, Ruthann Shane, Sandy Brown; brother-in-law; Jeff Cox, a dear sweet aunt, Bridgette Eaton and family, Bay City, TX; several nieces, nephews, and their families.

As per Susan’s wishes, there will be no funeral service.  However, she did want to share one of her favorite scriptures: Psalm 37:25 “I was young and now I am old, yet I’ve never seen the righteous one forsaken.”

The family would like to thank the medical staffs at Allegheny General Hospital, Concordia Nursing, Patriot Home Care, Good Samaritan Hospice, Dawes Manor Staff and residents, Pastor Chris White and staff from the Northway Church and Prayer groups, Rochester.

Family asks that donations be made in Susan’s name to J&J Spratt Funeral Home, Inc., 1612 Third Ave, New Brighton, Pa.
