Upon the passing of Mr. Cox in November of 1999, Ms. Cox continued as and currently serves as President/CEO of Postal Hawk Corp.

She has been the focus of a number of news articles on female entrepreneurship and was the featured speaker at the National Student Advertising Competition in 2006 when the Postal Vault was chosen to be the focus of that year’s national competition.
Ms. Cox began her business career at an early age working in her family’s hotel development business. In 1974, Ms. Cox, along with her husband, started B.J. Construction.

Mr. and Mrs. Cox then turned their attention to shopping centers and hotel development. When the construction market took a downturn in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, Ms. Cox made the decision to channel their skills in a new direction where her creative strategic talents, along with Mr. Cox’s niche for finding marketable (but under marketed) products could better be utilized. As a result, B.J. Marketing was founded in 1993, which later became Postal Vault Systems and launched the birth of the original Postal Vault product line which became Ms. Cox’s main focus of attention.
Philanthropically, Ms. Cox created a non-profit organization, www.branchtohope.org, which counsels and provides support for alternative treatments in Germany for cancer versus U.S.- recommended treatments of chemo - and radiation therapy and is heavily involved in teaching Bible-based studies.
