Patricia (Lovick) Cox
1935 – 2023
Patricia Cox passed away in December 2023. She was born in Vancouver, BC in 1935. Friends she made along her way called her a free spirit through Hawaii, California, London, Toronto, Montreal and her husband John’s Europe. She settled in Washington State’s shoreline in 1989. She gave birth to two ladies and then two males.
Patricia was educated in “the East,” then “the West,” and lastly at Stanford, each making their mark on her. She was an artist, spouse and professional decor specialist. She designed for first generation Keg Restaurants nationwide and first generation Save-On-Foods. She erected the world’s largest (17’x14’) portrait of late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in the New Westminster, BC courthouse lobby atrium, plus other public buildings, lobbies, hotels and nightclub interiors and murals. She created the Whatcom Museum’s tribute to deep sea fishermen and designed and fabricated the famous 14’ long fishermen’s table at Joe and Pat Slevin’s Harbor Cafe in Blaine.
There was no service. She made her husband promise,
“No funeral, no fuss.”
