RUSHVILLE CLINIC

Carol Cox - bookkeeper

Carol is a 1967 graduate of Rushville High School.  After she graduated in May, she married the love of her life, Ron.  They are going on 43 years, so I guess this one was meant to be.  Ron and Carol live on their farm located about 5 miles southwest of Camden.  This is the Cox homestead, sot they plan to live there forever.  They have three children, Mark (wife Holly), Kathy Burns (husband Larry), and Matt (wife Heather).  They are also the very proud grandparents of five FANTASTIC grandchildren....Maddie, Aris, Dalton, Michael, and Cailyn.  Carol has been working at the Rushville Veterinary Clinic since 1999.  She began as a secretary/receptionist and has been the bookkeeper for the past nine years.  Ron and Carol also train and race Standardbred horses, and if you know Carol at all, you know better than to ask her how her horses are doing, because you will get an ear full!  Her horses are her passion and she loves then dearly.  The couple also have a fury little bundle of joy at home named Josie.  The love and joy Josie brings to the Cox household attests to Carol's satisfaction with her job at the veterinary clinic.  "What a better place to work when you have a soft spot in your heart for God's four-legged creatures!"
