Lillian Frances Cook

June 9, 1942 — April 16, 2024

Nixa

Lillian Frances Cook, age 81, of Nixa, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2024. She was born on June 9, 1942, in Nebraska City, Nebraska, to the loving parents John and Norma (Kelly) Salmons.

Lillian embraced a beautiful life filled with love and adventure. On August 20, 1960, she was joyfully united in marriage to her beloved husband, Joe Cook. Lillian's dedication to her family as a devoted wife and mother shone brightly throughout her life. She found great joy in traveling across the United States with her family, cherishing trips to Aruba and Mexico. Lillian had a deep appreciation for beaches and exploring local restaurants during their travels - always delighting in the taste of fresh seafood.

A lover of music and dancing, Lillian often filled her home with the tunes of the 50s and 60s through classic eight tracks. Among her favorite musical groups was “The Platters.” Additionally, she found solace in reading and the beauty of flowers.

Lillian is survived by her son Terry Cook, daughter Sherri Pellham and son-in-law Ted, sister Evelyn Easton and brother-in-law Donnie, brother-in-law Bob Cook and sister-in-law Linda, three grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren, two nieces and one nephew. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Joe Cook, and daughter-in-law Kathleen Cook.

A graveside service to honor Lillian's life will be held at a later date.  Cremation rites have been tenderly handled by Adams Crematory in Ozark. Lillian will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her but will forever remain in our hearts as we cherish the memories, she has left us with.
