In her father's public career, Cox performed a ceremonial role, in contrast to her younger sister Julie Nixon Eisenhower’s more political involvement. Cox accompanied him on many campaign stops and, after his inauguration, on state trips around the world.

Cox married Harvard Law student Edward Finch Cox in a White House Rose Garden ceremony on June 12, 1971.

She serves on the boards of many medical-research institutions, as well as the Richard Nixon Foundation at the Nixon Library in California.
