From Patty's daughters on Facebook.
It is with sadness, shock and disbelief that we share that our mom passed away this past week. She was not only our mom, but she was a bonus mom, sister, cousin, grandmother, great grandmother and mother-in-law. Many hats that touched so many. . Patty Reeser Cooke was only 73. She was very active with the Master Gardner program. A program that she absolutely loved. She also stayed very busy with her condo board meetings, watching all her favorite college sports games, (especially football season), weekly luncheons with her girlfriends and spending time with her family that she adored very much. We are all still trying to wrap our minds around the past couple of days, so words are not easily written. I am simply making this post, because I know there are people who are trying to get in touch with her and I don't know how else to let everyone know. We have been blindsided and incredibly saddened. A Celebration of Life will take place mid April.
