Charlesetta Cox

Charlesetta Cox moved from Vinita, Oklahoma to Omaha, Nebraska in

1954 with her family. She attended both Long and Kellom elementary

schools and graduated from Omaha Technical High School. Charlesetta

always talked about becoming a nurse and fulfilled her passion by

attaining her Licensed Practical Nurse degree on December 9, 1985. She

hired on with Immanuel Fontenelle Nursing Home January 25, 1986.

She had a great love for her senior patients and although she retired April

15, 2015, she continued sharing her love through volunteer work. Her

nursing skills extended beyond the walls of Immanuel Fontenelle. Even

though retired, her nursing duties continued by helping with ailments of

family, friends and even strangers.

Charlesetta was a faithful member of Pilgrim Baptist Church. She held

various positions, i.e., Deaconess, Church clerk and Sunday school

teacher. Also, she was one of the initial nurses keeping members and

friends safe during the COVID-19 pandemic (taking temperatures while

social distancing at church). She loved taking pictures prompting her to

enroll in a photography course at Metro Tech Community College. She

also enjoyed traveling, going as far as Africa, quilting and working in her

flower garden.

On Monday, November 1, 2021 Charlesetta departed this life peacefully

in her home with her family at her side. She was preceded in death by her

parents, Willie and Vivian Jackson, brother Willie Jackson, Jr. and

husband George Cox. She leaves to cherish her memories her children:

LaDonna, Charlie (Gina), Corliss, Cornell, Quincy (Tiffany) White,

Lover (Char)Joyce and Calvin Lyncook; Sisters: Shirley Coffey, Lillian

(Wesley) Dacus, Hortence (Ira) Miller, Gwen Murray, Vera Jackson

(Percy)and Brenda (Kim) Lee; brothers Richard Wooten (Las Vegas, NV)

and Ernest Jackson. And a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren,

nieces, nephews and adopted brothers, sisters and children.
