She was a member of First Baptist Church of Moss Bluff where she took great pleasure in fellowship and bible study with her Sunday School class. Her trust in the Lord was stronger than the cancer that many times tried to hold her down but could not, and does not today.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband William “Bubba” Cook; son Brian Cook with wife Stacy; son Jason Cook with wife Maggie; grandsons Liam Cook, Graham Cook and Cameron Cook; granddaughter, Ainsley Cook; brother Michael Farris with wife Kathy, sister Evangeline “Cookie” Boullion with husband Kenny; sister-in-law Jeanine Morgan; nephew Don Morgan; nephew Todd Boullion with wife Tori, daughter Chloe and son Cade; nephew Nicolas Farris; niece Hollie Miller with husband Travis and son Logan; niece Allison Stoll with husband Jeremy; niece Julia Krafka with husband Brody.
