Esther A. Fox, formerly of Quakertown, PA, and Venice, FL, passed away Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at the Lutheran Community at Telford, Telford, PA.  She was 92.

She was the loving wife of the late James F. Fox until his passing on December 26, 2014.

While residing in Venice, Mrs. Fox volunteered for many years with the city's Community Assistance Food Pantry.  More recently, she volunteered with the Care & Share Thrift Shoppes, Souderton, PA.  A knitting enthusiast, she also enjoyed collecting and selling antiques.  But most of all, her greatest joy was found in spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
