Marjorie Jean Cook

April 18, 1932 — November 7, 2024

Marjorie J. Cook was born on April 18, 1932 in Colorado Springs, CO to Jerome and Mary Kovarik. She was one of three daughters. Marge always talked about her happy childhood, and was very proud of her Irish heritage.

Marge graduated from Fredrick High School in 1950. She then began working as a telephone operator in Colorado Springs, where she met her future husband, Robert (Bob) B. Cook. Bob and Marge were married in 1951. They had six children and took care of numerous foster children. They were very involved with scouting, where Marge was awarded the Silver Fawn for her work. Later in life, she went to cosmetology school and became a hair stylist until her retirement. While in beauty school, she developed a love of cats. Bob and Marge had many pet cats throughout the years. They built a small cabin in the mountains, where they spent time fishing and hosting family gatherings. They also spent a lot of time traveling in their motorhome with their lifelong friends and wintered in Yuma, AZ. Bob and Marge were married for 63 years before his passing in 2014.

Marge and her cat, Coco, moved into Morning Star in 2021. She enjoyed playing Bridge, Bingo, and spending time with her friends, many of whom she considered her second family.

Marge passed peacefully on November 7, 2024, with her kitty and her family at her side. She is preceded in death by her husband, Robert, her daughter, Vicky, her son, Bobby, and granddaughter, Hannah. She is survived by her children Holly, Jerry, Jenny, and Randy. She was Grannie to her six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
