I worked with Cookie in OB from 1978 until she retired. She was a great nurse and had a wonderful sense of humor. I will never forget her laugh! RIP
A great nurse who helped with the births of many babies. Cookie was also a loving person who touched many lives.
What a loving lady! Everyone loved Cookie! You will be dearly missed. She was a good golfer to the end. She would send that ball right down the center of the fairway. She will soon be playing golf with her partner Amy. RIP my friend
