We love you Great Cookie!

Nadine Cook 1930 ~ 2009 Nadine Elise Anderson Cook peacefully passed from this life on March 12, 2009, surrounded by her family. They feel the rejoicing of her husband son, parents and siblings.Nadine was born November 8, 1930, the fourth child of Aldon Joseph and Minnie Evaline Egan Anderson. She loved her brothers Aldon Junior and Lowell, and her sister Elaine Cannon (all deceased). She graduated from East High and attended the University of Utah where she was affiliated with Chi Omega and made many life-long friends. While attending the University Ward she met her future husband, Calvin Clemens Cook. They were married July 14, 1950 in the Salt Lake Temple. She adored Cal and missed him dearly after he passed away in 1982. She was employed at Tracy Collins Bank and then Sterling Wentworth Co. As a dedicated mother she courageously pressed on to leave her children with a legacy of faith and love. Nadine served the LDS Church in many capacities including teacher, Ward Primary and YW President, Stake Primary Counselor and President, and Stake YW Counselor. She gave tours at the Beehive House and loved serving in the Salt Lake Temple. She enjoyed Institute classes and studying the scriptures. The Gospel of Jesus Christ filled her life. Nadine loved family, friends, reunions, genealogy, old movies, and KBYU programs. She could most often be found supporting her children and grandchildren. Friendships made at church, in her neighborhoods, Dinner Group, Study Group, Fort Douglas Club, Cleofan, and Woodland Park Care Center were very precious to her. She seemed to know everyone. Her smiling example as she lived happily and without complaint will forever be etched in our memory. She will be missed by children Kathleen (Richard Johnson), Jonathan (Elizabeth), Elizabeth (Preston Richards), Michelle (Bryce Flake), Julie (Talmage Egan), Richard (Karrie), and Mark (Annika), 39 grandchildren and their spouses, 16 great-grandchildren and sister-in-law Miriam Frost (Lowell) Anderson. She was preceded in death by her husband Calvin, son David Calvin, grand-daughter Rachel Flake. Funeral Services will be held Saturday, March 21, 2009 at 12:00 noon in the Monument Park Stake Center, 1320 So. Wasatch Dr., SLC. Friends may call Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. at Larkin Sunset Lawn Mortuary, 2350 E. 1300 So. and Saturday from 10-11:30 a.m. prior to the service. Interment will be in Elysian Gardens Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the LDS Missionary Fund. The family would like to express gratitude to those who have offered prayers, love and support to Nadine and her family.

Karrie's Open House


The Cook Family is working hard to earn money. But they are also doing it in a fun way. Richard Benjamin is selling not golf sets, but BBQ sets in a golf bag. Andrea is selling watches and Karrie is selling purses. What a fun open house you had. What fun purses we came home with.

Happy Birthday Karrie on Saturday! We love you the Cooks
