Dee Dee was born on October 8, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Munn Dalton Cannon and Adrienne Patricia Hogensen. She married Roger Sherrel Cox on May 24, 1980 in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico for 34 years. She was an active member of the church in the Fairway Groves Ward. Dee Dee served in many callings including Young Women’s President, Den Mother, temple ordinance worker and a diligent family history contributor. She served an 18-month mission with her sister, Adrienne, in Melbourne, Australia.

Dee Dee graduated from East High School in 1966. She attended the University of Utah and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and loved her children and grandchildren. Dee Dee enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. Whenever she wasn’t serving her family, friends, making quilts for the fire victims, or in the temple, you could find her watching Utah football, any and all golf tournaments or Hallmark Christmas movies all year long.

She is survived by her 3 children: Anthony “Tony” J. (Karen) Cox, Jacob C. (Sara) Cox, Anne “Annie” M. (Josh) Hiatt; 18 grandchildren; and her 8 siblings M. Dalton (Betsy) Cannon, Jr., Craig S.
