Sharon Cox
East Alton |

Sharon Kaye Cox, 74, went from her Earthy home on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, to her Heavenly home to be with her Lord and Savior.
She was born January 1, 1951, to Jack and Bernice (Unverzagt) Ull.
Sharon attended River of Life Church with her husband who was her soulmate, whom she married on May 24, 2014.
She worked at Miller's Mutual and Florist Mutual, but the "best job" was Foster Grandparenting where she retired from Eastwood School in East Alton. Sharon was a member of East Alton American Legion. She loved fishing and camping with her husband, and was a "BIG" fan of Elvis as well as the St. Louis Cardinals. Sharon loved her trips to the Ozarks and Graceland. She loved her grandchildren and the "Rule" at her house was "You can have what you want to eat and drink."
Sharon is survived by her grandchildren, Heather and Stephanie Poole (Jerry and Sharon raised them after their parents passed); children, Jerry E. Cox, Jr, Cindy Kaska, Teresa Cox, and Chad Cox; as well as other grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by daughter, Christine Poole and son, Kenneth Busby; and her cat, Sabrina.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2025, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., at Elias, Kallal and Schaaf Funeral Home in Bethalto. A private family burial will be at Rose Lawn Memory Gardens at a later date.
