Julia K Cox

The Lord called Julia Keilmann Murillo Cox to a new life on Feb. 11, 2012, at the age of 97. She was born on Nov. 23, 1914, to George and Julia Keilmann in Floesville, TX. She attended Ursuline Academy in San Antonio.

Julia was preceded in death by her husband of 53 wonderful years, Felix Murillo. She was employed at Battlestein’s Department Store and later at Bride and Formal as a bridal consultant. She used her outgoing manner, good humor and positive outlook on life to dress a great number of Houston brides.
