Charlotte Fausz Cox, helped run Coxie's Corner tavern in Newport
Charlotte H. Fausz Cox, known for her melodious voice and tasty soups, died Sunday at Lakeside Place Nursing Home in Highland Heights. She was 96.
Mrs. Cox was born in Newport in 1903 to entrepreneur parents. They owned a bowling alley and restaurant on Monmouth Street before opening the candy store that Mrs. Cox and her husband eventually turned into a neighborhood tavern.
Mrs. Cox cooked her famous soup and her son, Dwight Jr., ran Coxie's Corner, at Ninth and Washington streets in Newport. The tavern was open from the '50s until 1975, when Dwight Sr., her husband, died.
"It was pretty well-known in those days," said her other son, Marvin Cox. Mrs. Cox retired after the restaurant closed and went to live with Dwight Jr. for a short time before moving to the Lakeside Place Nursing Home, where she stayed for 17 years. At the nursing home, the staff wheeled her down for a show one night, and she won an award for her singing.
"She had a very good voice in her younger days," Marvin Cox said of his mother, who had sung at churches as a young woman. "She became quite well-known by the staff."
She was a member of Christ Church United Church of Christ in Fort Thomas. Her son, Dwight Jr., died in 1996.
