Delores M. Cook
Obituary
Delores M. Cook, 74, passed away
peacefully on Friday (Dec. 20, 2019) at Asbury Park in Newton. She
was born Dec. 15, 1945, in Marion, to Willis Linn and Gertrude Schill
Linn. She was a 1963 graduate of Marion High School. She married
Chilson Cook in 1964 in Newton.
She worked for many years as a
custodian at Newton High School and was known and loved by
generations of Newton students. Delores truly lived life to the
fullest through simple pleasures; she was selfless and her desire to
serve went beyond the church as well.
Delores is probably best known
throughout the community for her skill in preparing food. She was
faithful in providing individual meals for the sick and at the same
time she relished in coordinating large carry in dinners.
She is survived by her son, Wayne Cook
and daughter-in-law Pam Cook; her sisters, Barb (Larry) Creamer and
Betty Loney (Tom); and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her
parents; one brother, Lonny; and her longtime friend, Al Heine.
Family, friends and others whose lives
Delores touched are invited for visitation from 10 to 11 a.m.
Thursday (Dec. 26, 2019) at First Missionary Church, 1300 Berry
Avenue, Newton. Celebration of life service will follow at 11 a.m. at
the church. The casket will be open one hour prior to the funeral.
