Helen Louise (Jones) Cox-Hoodlet, 88, of Richwood, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Monday, July 14, 2025, at Memorial Hospital of Union County. She was born on October 23, 1936, in Southern Indiana, she was one of three daughters born to Wayne and Goldie (Byrd) Jones. Helen lived a full country life outside Richwood, marked by her independence, faith, and love for her family. At 15, Helen eloped to marry Bert Cox in 1951, raising a large family together. Their home was filled with love and laughter, and Helen remained a steady presence for her loved ones. After Bert’s passing, she found love again in her later years, marrying Leonard Hoodlet. Helen worked at MedCenter Hospital in Marion, retiring in 1998 after years of dedicated service. Helen loved traveling, often riding her own motorcycle with Bert. She shared stories of her adventures and family history. A devout Christian for the past 40 years, her faith guided her through life’s hardships and inspired those around her. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, Wayne and Goldie Jones; her sisters, Anna (Jones) Gwinner and Ruth (Jones) Williams; her husbands, Bert Cox and Leonard Hoodlet; her children, Linda Cox, Lana Cox, and Darryl Cox; her son-in-law, Tony Yates; and her grandchildren, David Yates and Sara Yates.
