Keely Kristine Cox, born on February 3, 1972, in Augsburg, Germany, to Dwight and Rose (Weskamp) Cox, passed away peacefully at her home in Lawton, Oklahoma, on Monday, August 5, 2024, at the age of 52.

Keely's early years were spent in Germany, where she graduated from Hanau American High School. She went on to pursue higher education, earning her bachelor's degree from Cameron University and later a master's degree from the University of Central Oklahoma. Keely's passion for learning and her love of books inspired her to dedicate over 20 years to teaching in both Oklahoma and Texas. She was an active participant in book clubs and was committed to supporting her fellow educators through her involvement with Professional Oklahoma Educators.

Despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis more than 20 years ago, Keely faced life with resilience and a steadfast commitment to her profession. Her dedication to education and her positive impact on students and colleagues alike will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

She is survived by her mother, Rose Cox of Comanche, Oklahoma, sister, Kerry Cross and husband Jerrid of Waurika, Oklahoma, nieces, Clara and Katharine Cross of Waurika, Oklahoma, and many aunts, uncles, cousins spread throughout the country.

She is preceded in death by her father, Dwight Cox, grandparents, and many other relatives.
