You will truly be missed. From your dearest friend Ruth Gaines and family
Cookie you were always working with a big smile on your face! We worked so many years together in the ICU! You and Ruthie took Matthew fishing his first time at age two! I remember going to Sue Zemke’s pig roast with you and you wanted the tail😎
I will miss our phone calls. Peace to you in Heaven! Don’t forget to join the Heavenly Choir! Love you my friend!🙏🙏❤️❤️
Cookie (my sister):
You adopted me into your family and we shared many trips and adventures together. My life was so much richer because of you. We kept saying that we were going to get together soon, but time and circumstances beyond our control didn't allow it. We will have to keep our date when we meet again in heaven (which is where I know you are, singing in God's choir).
We always made it a point to sing to each other on our birthdays, so on February 28th, I will remember your singing to me and when May 10th rolls around, I will be singing to you my sister "Walking around Heaven!"
I had to let go of you here on earth, but you hold a place in my heart that no one can ever fill.
I miss you already and I will love you always ❤️!
Love your sister in Christ,
Pinky Brown
My Dear Sweet Friend "Cookie" You were always Ready to Go, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Apple Picking with Me!! The one year, your Brother Ben was here visiting and he went with us Strawberry Picking! And he out picked both of Us. And he had never picked strawberries before. And of course We picked Apples at Kooistra's Apple Orchard, on Maple Island Rd. For a lot of years, first with Mrs. Kooistra, owner and then For Doug Kooistra her son. We were considered extended Family!! And John Marble and Ruthie Green went out picking with us as well. And Doug always made sure he had Your Favorite Apples available for You! Cookie, The Mutsu Apple!! Remember when we'd go up to Hesperia Dam, and watch the salmon trying to get up the Dam, it was so exciting, they kept trying and trying. And it was so Awesome when they were successful!! We'd Stop to see Doug and Mary Lou, his helper at the Apple Orchard! On our way up to the Dam!! Such Great Memories Of You, Cookie!! You were always ready to take a ride, or go on an adventure!! I Miss You Already, My Friend! Rest in Peace! "Love You Cookie" ❤️❤️❤️ Your Good Friend! Joy Frazier 🥰🥰

Love you
Cookie,
You were one of a kind at Hackley! I loved working with you. If you needed a smile, you just had to look for Cookie.
Thanks for the great memories,

Today, we celebrate the life of a woman who was truly one of a kind—our dear Auntie. We were blessed beyond measure to have her in our lives, and though we will miss her, we know she is now in the presence of the Lord she loved so much.
Auntie was a woman of deep faith, a true believer who lived her life as a testament to God’s love and grace. Her laughter was heart-felt, her faith was unshakable, and her prayers were powerful. She was the kind of person who made you feel seen, heard, and loved—just as she knew our Lord sees, hears, and loves us all.
Though we grieve, we do not do so without hope. We can only imagine the moment Auntie stepped into eternity, her faith becoming sight. What a glorious reunion it must have been—her Savior welcoming her home, saying, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." No more pain, no more sorrow, just the pure joy of being in His presence.
Auntie’s love will always remain with us in our hearts and memories. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, strength, and love—one that we will carry forward. Though she is no longer with us in body, we know she is at peace, resting in the arms of the Lord she loved so much.
Until we meet again, we will cherish her memory.
Rest in His eternal glory, dear Auntie. You are home.
Love you, Marcus, Amy, Bree and Shay
