Marjorie Cook, 85, of Bourbon, Indiana, died on June 15, 2009 at 12:15 p.m. at Center for Hospice in Elkhart, Indiana, on the anniversary of her husband's death 54 years ago.
Marjorie was born on September 23, 1923 near Etna Green, Indiana, to Ernest and Mabel (Craig) Neidig.
On May 11, 1947, she married James Hunter Cook of Plymouth, Indiana, who died on June 15, 1955.
She was preceded in death by two sisters, Roma Dinius and Alice Gene Springer, as well as three brothers, William, Joseph, and James.
She is survived by her sisters Phyllis Faulkner (Max) of Bourbon and Ruth Gombos (William) of Lovingston, Virginia, and her sister-in-law Bernadine Neidig of Bourbon.
She is also survived by her two sons: Jonathan J. Cook (Toni) of South Bend, Indiana and their daughter Erin; Michael D. Cook (Christine) and their daughter Brittany and son Brady. In addition, she had dozens of nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and nephews.
Marjorie graduated as salutatorian of the class of 1941 from Bourbon High School where she played violin in the orchestra. She had various work experiences before becoming employed at the First State Bank of Bourbon where she served for 25 years, retiring as head bookkeeper in 1986. She was also co-owner of the much-loved El-Mar-Co Kwik Knit Shop in Bourbon from 1971 – 1995.
Marjorie loved to knit, tat, crochet, sew, and embroider and shared the joy of the craft with hundreds of individuals over her lifetime including many 4-H students. She also knitted well over 1, 000 winter hats for various charities, as well as hundreds of lap blankets, newborn caps, and baby booties. In keeping with her giving spirit, she asked that in lieu of flowers, donations would be made in her honor to the charity of the donor's choice.
Visitation will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, June 17, 2009 and the funeral will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 18, 2009. Both services will be held at VAN GILDER FUNERAL HOME, 300 West Madison Street, Plymouth, Indiana, 46563. Burial will be in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, in Bourbon.
Marjorie will live on in the memories of her friends and family who find comfort in knowing that she is now in a better place.
