Bernard L. Fox, 94, of Cabot, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025, at Concordia of Cranberry.

Born July 24, 1931, on the family farm in Cabot, he was the son of Louis H. Fox and Lola Montgomery Fox.

Bernie was a lifelong farmer, retiring from full-time farming in 2014. He graduated from Winfield-Clinton High School in 1949 and Penn State with an Agricultural Science Bachelor of Science degree in 1954. He then served in the U.S. Army as a medic and ambulance driver for 18 months in East Germany as part of the occupying forces.

After his marriage in 1967, Bernie worked part-time for Farm Management Business Analysis Service, where he assisted local farmers with tax and farm management.

He was a member of the Zion Methodist Community Church, where he had served as treasurer for many years. He enjoyed learning about family history and was a great source for anyone wanting to know the Fox family history and also the Zion Church history. He enjoyed gardening, always had a large vegetable garden and also grew gladiolas and dahlias. Bernie had many friends who continued to visit, send cards and bring cookies after he moved to Concordia in Cranberry.
