I fondly remember Frances from the wire room in operations when I first came to the bank in 1970.  She was a stready presence, always kind and helpful, especially to me when I went to work in the International Operations Wire room.   She helped me out many times!  Rest in Peace, my friend !

I will always remember Frances as a kind and friendly person.  She always had a smile and was a friend to everyone.  I know her family will  always have fond memories of her and will always be there in their hearts.

Frances was one of the nicest people I have ever known. She was a very honorable person, very kind and always friendly. She was already working in the wire room for Dennis Tesh when I joined Wachovia in 1968 and worked for Arthur Brown. I'm certain she will be sorely missed.

Frances was a favorite.  I’ll always remember the hours we spent together planning and installing the Bank’s first ever FedWire machine and statewide network of ASR35’s and telecopier machines.  We followed up by developing the specifications for the Bank’s first automated wire transfer system.  The Bank was fortunate to have such a fine person on staff and I am honored to have known and worked with her.

Such fond memories of Frances Cox.  She was one that would stay until all the work was done. Like a sailor never leaving a sinking ship.  She was a true Wachovian and one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Frances and I were co-workers for several years and very good friends even longer.   She was a person you could count on.  A hard worker and knew the wire room from top to bottom.  She taught me soo much while working  together. A very gentle, caring, loving person. I am soo glad I had the privilege of knowing her and for her to be my friend.  Heaven has truly gained an  angle.  Rest  in peace, my friend!!
