Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Lois Anderson Cook, age 91 of Cedar Fort passed away August 7, 2008. She was born July 11, 1917 in Cedar Fort, Utah to Wallace and Mary Berry Anderson. She was the oldest of four girls.
Lois attended school in Cedar Fort and graduated from Lehi High School. She married her high school sweetheart, John L. Cook in the Salt Lake Temple. They made their home in Cedar Fort where they raised three children, Wally, Melvyn and Marlene.
She retired from Tooele Army Depot after 30 years of service. Lois was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many ward and stake callings. She has contributed much to the successful functions in Cedar Fort, both civic and religious. For many years she originated plays and programs so the Primary children could have the experience of participation in such events. She would spend countless hours in a very cold gym rehearsing and directing the youth of Cedar Fort. Costumes, plays and scenery made only part of her contributions. Lois was loved and respected by all who knew her, she loved her family and enjoyed her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids very much.
Lois is survived by her daughter-in-law, Sharon Cook, daughter, Marlene (Duane) Allen, son, Melvyn Cook, all of Cedar Fort; 6 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, sister Ora Petersen, American Fork and brother-in-law, Doug Peterson, Cedar Fort.
