| Marlene Clare Cook |
Marlene Clare Cook, 75, was born in Seattle, Wash. to Harry Gaugh and Virginia LeClair. Marlene lived in many states, Washington, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Idaho and Arizona.
She was one of eight children. Her siblings, Mary and Bill, preceded her in death. Marlene had six children: John Barker, California; Mark Barker, Tucson, Ariz.; Jeanette Sears, Benson, Ariz.; Janice Pack, Taft, Ga.; Roy Cook, Tombstone, Ariz.; and Charles Cook, Tucson, Ariz. She also left 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. She leaves sisters, Lorraine Ford of Redland, Calif.; Betty McCurdy, California; Delores Larson, Murrieta, Calif.; Valerie Jarvis, Riverside, Calif; and one brother, Harry Gaugh in Jamul, Calif.
Marlene wrote poetry and was known for her kindness to others. She always helped others even in her illness. She shared what she had at one time. She worked as a cook at a nursing home. Even though she was only given a small amount to buy food, she managed to provide tasty, nutritious meals for the patients.
In Tombstone, she walked to daily Mass until she could no longer walk that far. We will remember her gentle soul and wicked sense of humor.
Rosary was held Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. Mass was held Friday, Jan. 29, 2010 at 11 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Tombstone.
