Willie Thelma Fox

Willie Thelma Fox, 89, of Concord, passed away Saturday, July 27, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Willie was born March 23, 1935 in Concord, North Carolina to the late W.T. Morrison and the late Sallie Burnett. 

She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Lisa C. Riley, and grandson, Joshua Wayne Hatley.

Survivors include two daughters, Brenda Upright and Shelia Stirewalt, and son Michael Fox. She was affectionately known as a loving "Mawmaw" to nine grandchildren, and seventeen great grandchildren.

Willie was loved by many, and loved everyone equally. There were no favorites when it came to Willie, as her heart held enough room for all. She loved church, word searches, and Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Willie was a fighter, strong-willed, and passed on these traits to her loving family. 

The family will receive friends from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, on Thursday August 1, 2024, at Hartsell Funeral Home of Concord. The funeral service will be on Friday August 2, 2024, at 10:00 am at Hartsell Funeral Home of Concord, and will be officiated by Doctor Ronnie Simpson and Pastor Chuck Overcash. Burial will immediately follow at the Oakwood Cemetery at 471 Church Street, Concord.

Hartsell Funeral Home of Concord is serving the Fox family.
