Life
My maden name is Roberta Jackson. I married James H. (Jimmy) Cox on Oct. 21, 1949. He was stationed in San Diego, CA on the
USS Richard B. Anderson. He was shipped overseas twice during our next 2 yrs. We lived in San Diego in 1950 when the ship was stationed there. He went back overseas the 2nd time in Feb. 1951. Then came back in Sept. '51. We lived in San Diego again. We got a divorce in March of '52. He went back overseas on the RB Anderson. I married Samuel C. (Chuck) Henderson in 1952.

I am a Registered Nurse, I retired from the hosp. in 1999 but started back in 2002 part time. I still work as a telemetry nurse at the hospital. I was a beautician for 27 yrs. and had my own beauty salon.
I plan to do some traveling and enjoy my children and grand children and great grandchildren. I am also active in Church and RV Club. I will continue to work part time at the hospital as I love my nursing. I enjoy people and helping others.
Anyone who knew Jimmy I would love to hear from you.
