As a long-time Don Mills resident, Marion Cox came to know hundreds of people through the nursery school she ran and through volunteer work. A teacher at the Donway Co-operative Nursery School at The Donway United Church (now Donway Covenant United Church), Cox taught well into the second generation of Don Mills children and was a familiar face in her Don Mills Road and The Donway East neighbourhood, said Dorothy Pestell, whose three sons, Steven, Craig and Jeff, were taught by Cox decades ago. Cox died in July at age 90, and because of her strong ties to the community, Pestell said she wanted to acknowledge the life of a woman who meant so much to so many. Born Marion Cooke in Washago, Ontario, to an American mother and Canadian father, Cox lived her entire married life on Ashgrove Place with her husband, Frank, until his death several years ago. >>>TEACHER, page 6
