Surviving is her one and only son, Roy Lee Cook (Nicole) that was her pride and joy; three step grandchildren: Mekenzie, Autumn and Montana; and a great grandchild, Anita Rayne.
In addition to her parents, Evelyn was preceded in death by her loving husband of 42 years, Alfred John Cook (A.J.) and two brothers: Granville Smith and Silas Smith.
