Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1935, Fox moved to England at age four at the start of World War II. After being bombed out of her house during the Blitz of WWII, Fox, her mom and her brothers were evacuated from London to St. Albans in Hertfordshire. She lived there until age 21, when she emigrated to Canada.

Fox holds a Bachelor of Science and International Relations from Pacific Western University and had a successful career as a meeting planner and communications manager, working for Fortune 500 companies. In 1995, Fox founded the Independent Meeting Planners Association of Canada (IMPAC), now renamed as the Canadian Society of Professional Event Planners (CANSPEP), where she is an Emeritus Member.

In 2015, Fox’s husband Mike passed away from Parkinson’s. As his caregiver, Fox says she hopes to advise others on the same journey.  She now lives on Vancouver Island, which she believes is the most beautiful part of Canada. She sings with a small band (Remember When) and has recorded five CDs. In addition to her passion for singing, Fox is also a writer and has published two books and is working on a third one now.  She has taught and written about knitting for the industry for years, loves gardening and art, and has even created her own line of greeting cards.
