Harold Thomas Fox, age 94, of the Liberty community of rural Norman, Indiana, departed this life to be with his Lord and Savior and his wife of 74 years on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, at his home.
He was accompanied to the end of his life by his loving family.
The youngest of 11 children, he was born on Jan. 8, 1929, at Bedford to the late Henry E. & Margaret (Baker) Fox. When he was 3 years old, the family moved to the Liberty community, where he remained the rest of his life. Of his siblings, only he stayed in Southern Indiana.
In 1948, he married his high school sweetheart, Ruth Curry, who preceded him in death on Dec. 28, 2022.
Tom’s interests were his farm, family, and church. He was a member of Liberty Christian Church and Indiana Farm Bureau. Tom and his late wife, Ruth, were hardworking and successful farmers, raising strawberries, turkeys, cattle, hogs, and grandchildren. He enjoyed a long farm life, making hay in his 90s and feeding large bales to his cattle until early this year.
Tom is survived by two sisters: Marjorie Nichols of Plainfield and Esther Fox of Indianapolis, who will celebrate her 101st birthday this year; also sons: Larry D. (Darlene) Fox and Jerry W. (Shelley) Fox; eight grandchildren: Kristy, Jay, Doug, Justin, Jeremy, Travis, Tasha, and Robert; 17 great-grandchildren; eight great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
