Cook was a God-fearing woman so we know without a Doubt we will see her again. We know god’s plans are perfect. We are blessed that God chose her to be in our lives. She was a loving and compassionate wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. If you knew her you knew genuine, sincere love. She loved her family some kind of big especially her grand babies. She never met a stranger. The love of helping others was not only shown to her family and friends but also to the community of Vicksburg Warren Mississippi.

In her many years working for MSDHS and MS Medicaid Division we know she touched many people’s lives. She would go above and beyond her job duties to help others. She was compassionate to help others in need. She truly touched many people’s lives. She always went out of her way to make someone happy. Her smile was contagious. One thing is for sure she knew how to have a good time everywhere she went. She would light up the room and she also loved to sing and cook.
