Mrs. Cox, the daughter of the late Arthur Redden Work and the late Lula Mae Fussell Work, was born in Dickson, TN on June 27, 1924. She grew up in Dickson and Highland Park, MI.

In April of 1944 Sarah received notification from the War Department that James had been shot down while on a bombing mission near Budapest, Hungary and was listed as Missing-In-Action. Following a subsequent search, he was found to be a Prisoner-of-War at Stalag Luft IV located in Grosstechow, Poland. When James was in service, Sarah worked in the Defense Industry in Detroit, MI.
