Services today for former librarian Joy Cox Giles

Graveside services for retired Garland school librarian Joy Cox Giles will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Webb Chapel Cemetery in Farmers Branch.

Mrs. Giles died Friday at her home in Orange, Texas, after a short battle with cancer. She was 75.

Mrs. Giles was the valedictorian of Carrollton High School's graduating class of 1940. She received a bachelor's degree in library science from what is now Texas Woman's University in Denton, where she once worked as a reference librarian.

Her first assignment in Garland was at a junior high, said her brother, Howard J. Cox of Dallas. A few years later, she transferred to the brand-new South Garland High School.

She was an avid reader and in 1955 received a teacher's certificate, Mr. Cox said.

Mrs. Giles retired in 1968 and moved to Orange in East Texas where her husband worked as a school librarian.

In addition to her brother, she is survived by her husband, Milton W. Giles of Orange.
