COOK: Elizabeth (nee Zilli)  July 1, 1934 - October 9, 2006

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, Betty Cook. These meager words cannot describe how much we love, honour, and deeply miss her. Elizabeth will forever be remembered by her mother Katherine Zilli; sons Robert and Jamie Cook, and daughter Catherine Todd (nee: Cook); daughters-in-law Janice and Eleanor Cook; son-in-law David Todd; grandchildren Elizabeth and Robert Todd; Jillian, Alex, and Caitlin Cook; Brendan and Reagan Cook. She was predeceased by her loving father Luigi Zilli on July 29, 1979.Betty spent her entire life in the valley of Drumheller where she married Robert Cook and raised three children. She was enraptured by the picturesque valley with its changing seasons, and had an enduring and timeless love for her husband Robert who passed away November 3, 1970. Mom worked at the Drumheller Auxiliary and Nursing Home first as a secretary and later as its’ Administrator. She retired at the age of sixty-two and spent the remainder of her life enjoying life’s simple pleasures such as gardening, visiting with neighbors and friends, watching hockey, caring for her dog and finally being the best mother and grandmother in the world. We celebrate your life, Mom, as our hero. A Memorial Service was held on Saturday, October 14, 2006 at 2:00 pm at Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Chapel in Drumheller with Reverend Mac Jones presiding. An interment followed at the Drumheller Municipal Cemetery where she was buried with her beloved husband Robert Cook. Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Chapel was entrusted with arrangements.
