Cleopatra COX⁽⁵⁾ was born on 11 Sep 1920. She died on 16 Apr 1990. Cleopatria Cox Shannon
Sept 11, 1920 - April 16, 1990
Aunt Cleo / Aunt Pat

Cleopatria married Aubrey Cox in 1940. He was the son of Willy and Annie Cox. Early in their marriage they moved from Arkansas to Indiana. They had two children Louanna September 16, 1941 and Gayle Jean June 12, 1943 while living in Muncie,Indiana. They moved back south and lived in Memphis. They were divorced when the children were small, and Aunt Cleo (as she was called at that time) went to work as a waitress in a cafe in Memphis. The children were living with their father, as she did not make enough money to pay a babysitter and rent an apartment too. While working she met Lawrence Shannon. After a courtship, they married on ________. Louanna chose to move to Mississippi with her mother, and Gayle chose to stay with her father and her step mother in Memphis, which I’m sure upset Aunt Cleo. Uncle Shannon was a school teacher and had taught school for two years before going back to school to become an Optomologist. He and his brother bought the jewelry store,owned by their father and their grandfather before him. His brother was a engineer by trade, and together they set up the first Same Day Optical Center in Northeast Mississippi. Uncle Shannon checked their eyes, diagnosed their problems and wrote the prescription for their lenses. His brother __ took the prescription and ground the lenses after the customer picked out the frames. The business was a huge success and people came from miles around to get glasses.
Aunt Pat and Uncle Shannon started their family and had a son, Robert Lawrence, Jr on November 30, 1952, he died the next day on December 1, 1952. They then had two daughters, Julia in 1953 and Paula in 1956. The Shannon’s had a beautiful home and Aunt Pat as she now preferred to be called, had a maid named Liza. She did all of the house work and cooked for the family. Guests were treated very well by Aunt Pat and Liza. The Shannon’s were well respected in the community, and played an important roll in their church. The girls were involved in church during their youth. Aunt Pat, at different times had two or more nephews live with her. One was Gerald Cox (Walter’s son) who spent the summer, so Aunt Pat could Straighten him out. And Walter Norris, who needed a good break in life. I think most of the neices and nephews could have spent some time with Aunt Pat so she could teach them to be proper ladies and gentlemen. They sent all of their girls to college. Liza stayed with the family until she got too old and retired. Aunt Pat was very good to Liza, and made sure she had a decent place to spend her retirement.
Aunt Pat’s and Uncle Shannon’s goal upon thier retirement was to see all of the Ole Miss football games they had missed while he was working. (Saturday’s was his busiest day at the shop.) Upon retirement, Uncle Shannon bought a motor home. They decorated it in Ole Miss colors and paraphernalia. They did not miss an Ole Miss football game for years. They also traveled visiting relatives and did some sight seeing. They traveled with Aunt Evelyn and her husband Gabby on several outings. Once they met the Fosters in Texas and spent a wonderful week. Aunt Pat developed Breast Cancer, and had a rough time with the surgery and chemotherapy that followed. It took more than a year before she was well enough to travel again. Aunt Evelyn (now a widow) came down to help nurse her back to health. A few years later, they were on their way home from Buloxi and Gulf Port where they visited with their daughters. Weary from their travels, they stopped in a motel. They went to bed as usual and Uncle Shannon got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and found Aunt Pat on the floor, dead. She died on April 16, 1990 and was buried in the Pontotoc Cemetery in Pontotoc, Mississippi. Uncle Shannon lived for almost nine years more. He took Aunt Evelyn in the motor home traveling, and visiting relatives, until it became too difficult for him. He died on February 28th 1999 and is buried next to Aunt Pat.

Louianna was born on September 16, 1941 in Muncie, Indiana. She married Pete W. Raiteri, son of Virginia and Frank Raiteri on September 6, 1962. They had 4 children, Patti Ann (May 25, 1963), Pete William , Jr. (March 1, 1965), Robin Leigh (August 25, 1966) and ____________ They were very happy. Pete died on March 21, 1975 leaving Louianna to raise 4 children by herself. He is buried in Conn Cemetery in Long Beach Mississippi. She married Jerry Wayne Fitts on March 1, 1990 and they have had no children together. Louanna worked for 13 years at Buloxi Regional Medical Center in the business office, holding various positions.

Cleopatria Cox Shannon
by Avlon Foster

In the 70’s or 80’s Aunt Pat and Uncle Shannon came up to see us a few times. Gabby, Aunt Evelyn’s second husband had a trailer and they would visited us once or twice. One year, my younger sister Maggy Lou had a mini motor home, and we had a Winabego, Kay was still home at that time and Paula, Aunt Pat’s daughter was still home. My sister Emma and Gene had a Club in Newport, AR, that was a liquor store and a night club where they dance. It was a nice Club. But they sold it. He retired for a while and he didn’t like it, so they went to Texas (League City - between Houston and Galveston). That year, all of us took our motorhomes down there and visited them. Aunt Pat and Shannon came from MS and they met us and we took our campers down to Galveston, right on the Gulf of Mexico, it was hot, there was a nice breeze off the Gulf, no mosquitoes, and we stayed there 3 or 4 days and just visited. We had a real good time there.
