Oh, Missy, I’m so sorry to hear this news. Your Mom was a staple in the neighborhood and all the kids knew her. She was happiest being with her family and doing things with you guys. She and your dad were two pees in a pod and I always loved seeing them across the fence. Peace and love to You, Missy.
Cookie was a sweet, funny person. I feel so fortunate to have known her. My sincere condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed.
The memories of being at all the family get together’s at your mothers house will never be forgotten. Plus spending time in Florida this last October with you and your mother was a wonderful few days.
My sincere condolences
I met Cookie through bowling. We had some great times and memorable moments (and a lot of laughs). Even after she stopped bowling she would come with and enjoy in the fun. Most recently, Madeline would bring Cookie to visit on Fridays while we bowled and then we would all go and eat and enjoy her company. Cookie was a classy lady. I will miss her smiling face.
We loved seeing Cookie at our quarterly gatherings of the Rhine River cruise. Her face and laugh are forever embedded in my heart. Wishing you comfort, Vivian
Cookie will be missed greatly. Had a lot of great memories bowling and going out. We always had a fun time. Prayers to all her family.
We did love seeing Cookie at our quarterly meetings of the “River Gals.” She was a loving and gentle Person who will be greatly missed. She has been blessed to have such a wonderful family that
was happy to be around her. She was truly blessed.
Heaven has a special place for special people like
Cookie. ❤️
Cookie and I shared a great journey through the years. Always good times and lots laughs. She was ready to go anywhere and do anything even if it was simply looking out at the water at Maple Lake. I’ll miss the “Munchkin”. RIP dearest friend, Cookie.

I only knew Cookie for about 12 years – from our Rhine River Cruise… I will miss our get-togethers! She was so much fun to know.
We missed our reunions in 2020 because of Covid so my memories must last forever.
Rest in Peace, Cookie With love, JoAnn
I have known Cookie for more than 60 years. She never was without a smile. Always very cheerful. I am going to miss all the breakfasts and lunches. Cookie was always ready to go out anytime and anywhere. I am so glad she got to go with Katy and Missy on her trips. I will miss her dearly.
To a dear loyal friend. You are with Dickie Boy now.
RIP Love Eileen
Cookie you were one of a kind. A blessing to be with. I will cherish our Rhine River get togethers and all the fun we had. We were never at a loss for words or laughs.
May your memory be eternal.
Deepest sympathy and prayers to your family.
I am another friend from the riverboat… Cookie was so special in so many ways. Wonderful company and a really big heart! She really knew how to light up a room! I will really miss her. My thoughts and prayers to the family at this most difficult time.
So sorry to hear about Aunt Cookie. She was a good, kind, and thoughtful person. She will truly be missed.
