Rachel Cox Obituary

Rachel Bradshaw Cox was born to Lafey LaVel Bradshaw and Ilynn Christensen on May 6th, 1948 in Beaver, Utah. She returned peacefully to her Heavenly Home on September 11, 2023 from her earthly home in Orderville, Utah.
Rachel was sealed to her eternal companion Melvin Allen Cox on Sept 13th, 1968. They began their life together in Summit, Utah (Iron county). After living there 2 years they moved their little family to Orderville, Utah, where they continued to grow, serve, work and play until the present day.
Rachel is survived by husband Melvin Allen Cox of Orderville, Utah; children Mary Ann & Kyron Brinkerhoff of Bloomfield, NM, Duke & Shiree Cox of Orderville, Utah, Doug & Letitia Cox of Orderville, Utah, Danny & Bethany Cox of Lehi, Utah, and Dustin & Harmony Cox of Alton, Utah; siblings James Bradshaw of Salt Lake City, Utah, Rea Dawn Rowley of Parowan, Utah, and Shadrach Bradshaw of Beaver, Utah. She was preceded in death by her parents LaVel & Ilynn Bradshaw; siblings Gary LaVel Bradshaw, Lynn Richard Bradshaw, & Randall C Bradshaw; and great-grandchildren Hudson Lloyd Seely & Eugene Melvin Brinkerhoff.
Rachel loved life and what she loved most was spending time with her family. She and Melvin are the proud grandparents of 25 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren with the newest being born just the day before her passing. She was a loyal supporter and biggest fan of whatever activity her grandkids happen to be participating in at the time.
Rachel had a deep and abiding testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With her companion Melvin she served two full-time missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; one in the Colorado Denver South Mission, and one in the Utah St George Mission. They also served in the St George Temple for 6 years.
