She had a true servant's heart and used her gifts to bring comfort, beauty, and joy to others. Whether she was helping someone in need, welcoming a neighbor, or quietly attending to those around her, she lived out her faith in countless small and faithful ways.

Above all, Maureen loved being a wife, mother, and grandmother. Her husband, children, and grandchildren meant the world to her, and she delighted in every moment spent with them. She took quiet pride in their lives and accomplishments and loved them deeply and unconditionally.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 60 years, Lavon Cook; and her parents, Frank and Ruby Tillman.

She is survived by her children, Lindsey (Melissa) Cook and Cindee (Kevin) Riordan; her grandchildren,Christopher Cook, Patrick (Lauren) Cook, Catherine (Mike) Mirzabeigi, Elizabeth Riordan (Mitch Furr),Mary Virginia Riordan, Alex Watkins, and Emma Watkins; her great-grandchildren, Miles, Murphy, and Lane Cook; her sister, Marguerite Lavender; her brother, Nolan Tillman; and her sister-in-law, Brenda(Larry) Stephens.
