MABEL MARIE VANHOOSE COOK, age 87, of Louisa, KY passed from this life to her eternal home on April 20, 2013 of a sudden illness.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ben P. Cook and 2 sons, Randy and Tommy Cook.

Surviving are 2 daughters, Sharon Ratliff and Pamela Bartlett; 1 son, Lonnie Cook; 12 grandchildren; 29 great grandchildren and 5 great-great grandchildren.

Mabel was a charter member of Richardson Chapel Church and was also the first church clerk.

She loved the church and helped her brother, Claude VanHoose, start Richardson Chapel. Through the years, she was not able to attend regularly, but anyone that knew her, knew her love for the church.

She is missed daily by our family. We will never be the same, but we will meet again very soon in our heavenly home. Rest, Mother, until we meet again.
