Patsy “Pat” Cook

Patsy “Pat” Lee Cook, age 87 of Missouri
Valley, IA entered into eternal rest on Monday, March 13th, 2023,
surrounded by her family at CHI Health in Missouri Valley. Pat was born
November 12th, 1935, in Mondamin, IA to Joy (Clark) Powell and
Kenneth Fellows. She was raised by Paul & Joy Powell.
Pat
attended Mondamin High School where she managed the lady’s basketball team
until she graduated in 1954. She married Jerry L. Cook on June 30th,
1957. To this union three children were born. Pat dedicated 55 years to the
family’s farm, taking care of critters and 19 years to the Missouri Valley
Community School District as the Secretary for the high school. Pat loved her
sons deeply and always made sure they were taken care of, which would sometimes
include staying up at all hours of the night. She attended every sporting event
that the boys were involved in. From football games and basketball games to
baseball games and track meets, Pat could even be spotted supporting her boys
at the racetrack regularly. Pat was believer in Jesus Christ and taught her
kids and grandchildren the gospel. Music played a big role in her life. Pat had
a talent for playing the piano and was the pianist at Calvary Baptist Church
for many years. In her free time, she was an avid roller-skater, and could
often be noticed skating backwards in her white skates with red and white
pom-poms. Pat and Jerry traveled all over the United States and Canada for
bowling tournaments. Pat loved her grandchildren and the time she was able to
spend with each and every one of them. She enjoyed teaching them about life’s
lessons and telling them stories about their parents.
Pat
is reunited in Heaven with her husband of 65 years, Jerry Cook, mother, Joy
Powell, father, Paul Powell, and Kenneth Fellows, and grandson, Alex Cook.
She
is survived by her sons, Dennis (Lorry) Cook of Missouri Valley, Dale (Lisa)
Cook of Underwood, Jerry (Kim) Cook of Missouri Valley. Grandchildren, Jared,
Jon, and Josh Cook, Tyler (Chelsey) Cook, and Leslie Cook, Colton Cook (Abby),
