Marjorie "Marge" Ann (Roe) Cook

Marjorie Ann “Marge” Cook, 81, of Millersville, passed away Sunday, July 11, 2021, at Southeast Hospital in Cape Girardeau. 

She was born June 8, 1940, in Sedgewickville, Missouri, to John Bill and Nell Audrey Brotherton Roe.  She and Paul Dean Cook were married August 23, 1957.  Four children were born to their union, Tammy, Todd, Teresa, and Toby.  They had been married 42 years when Dean passed away August 25, 1999. 

Marge was a 1958 graduate of Patton High School.  She retired from Lenco after 30 years of employment.

She was a 32-year member of Connection Point Church in Jackson and a longtime member of Oak Ridge OES Chapter 310 (now in Millersville).

She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; three sisters, Verla (Roy) Stroder, Betty (Troy “Jake” Hobeck) Langston, and Audrey (Leonard) Langston, and a very special friend, Bud Sharrock.
