Graveside services for retired Garland school librarian Joy Cox Giles
will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at
Webb Chapel Cemetery in Farmers Branch.
Mrs. Giles died Friday at her home in Orange, Texas, after a short
battle with cancer. She was 75.
Mrs. Giles was the valedictorian of Carrollton High School's graduating
class of 1940. She received a bachelor's degree in library science from
what is now Texas Woman's University in Denton, where she once worked as
a reference librarian.
Her first assignment in Garland was at a junior high, said her brother,
Howard J. Cox of Dallas. A few years later, she transferred to the
brand-new South Garland High School.
She was an avid reader and in 1955 received a teacher's certificate, Mr.
Cox said.
Mrs. Giles retired in 1968 and moved to Orange in East Texas where her
husband worked as a school librarian.
In addition to her brother, she is survived by her husband, Milton W.
Giles of Orange.The Dallas Morning News -
