Information via Wallingford Funeral Home

Karen M. Cox, 62, of Wallingford, died unexpectedly at home, on Thursday, October 24, 2019. She was the beloved wife of James H. Cox.

She was born in New Haven, January 12, 1957, daughter of Marie E. (Perrotti) Signore of Wallingford, and the late Stephen A. Signore.

A graduate of North Haven High School, she worked for Russell Partition and then as a caregiver and director of Over the Rainbow Preschool and Childcare Center. She enjoyed spending summers at Mattawamkeag Lake in Island Falls, Maine and fishing with Mike and Jan. Her children and grandchildren were her world. She loved spending time with them; they were her pride and joy. She loved cooking and baking for her family and lived a truly selfless life. She was, without a doubt, one of a kind.

In addition to her husband James and mother Marie, she is survived by her children, James Cox and fiancé Monika Bialko, and Stephanie Peterson and her husband Randy; her grandchildren Brianna, Randy, Carinne, Bryce and Jackson; her siblings and their spouses, Debra and Michael Patten, Stephen R. and Teresa Signore, Thomas A. and Diana Signore, and Paul J. and Cheryl Signore; and her sister-in-law, Fran Signore. She was predeceased by her brother, Anthony P. Signore. She leaves behind a large extended family, including Rachel Sackett and family, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

In lieu of donations or flowers and in memory of Karen, she would want you to spend quality time with the ones you love.
