1 thought on “OBITUARY: Grace Luella Cook”
Gracie, was a kind and outgoing “people” person that never met a stranger. She loved her volunteer job at the Overton Senior Center and visiting with the many people that came for lunch every day. She was also proud of her family. Lois and Cal provided the loving family connection for her.
Rest in peace and continue your visits with as many seniors that you will meet up there.
