Our beloved Setella Cox passed away on December 8th, 2016 after a brief illness.

Setella was the mother of Popopstudios founder and Creative Director John Cox. She was a vibrant and outgoing person, a true lady whose endearing personality and charm filled any room she entered. She will be missed by so many, but we are consoled by the belief that her lovely spirit will bless the halls and rooms of Popop forever – this enchanting place that was originally her own childhood home.

Farewell dear Setella, we hope you knew how many people loved you.
