Mary Elizabeth (Emmy) Cooke died peacefully November 3, 2022.
Although challenged by severe cerebral palsy, Emmy packed a full life into the short time that she was with us. Her quiet peace and patience were remarkable and inspiring. Emmy was a beautiful spirit and was loved by all who were blessed to know her. She will be sorely and deeply missed.
Emmy is survived by Liz and Rocky Cooke (parents), Nona Malcom Mason and Woody Mason (grandparents), Julie Trotter (aunt), Billy Cooke (uncle), and many more relatives and friends who loved her dearly. She was predeceased by Rooney Malcom (grandfather) and Billy and Mary Cooke (grandparents).

SO SO SORRY ROCKY, FOR YOUR LOSS AND THE FACT THAT I NEVER MADE TIME TO MEET EMMY, SHE WILL ALWAYS BE AN INSPIRATION TO MANY
Emmy had a beautiful smile. We loved having her in school with us, she brightened the classroom. Love and sunshine followed her. Wonderful memories remain.
I’m just now learning of Emmy’s passing. I’m saddened to hear this news.
Please know that I’m thinking of you both at this trying time.
Rocky and Liz, we are so heartbroken for you both. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Emmy has always had the brightest smile, such a beautiful child ~
Emmy’s smile always began with gentle warmth—as on a fine Spring day—then blossomed into radiant joy. Her smile will shine on in our hearts forever.
