RIKKI LYNN COOK

March 20, 1962 — September 14, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rikki Lynn Cook, who left this world on September 14, 2026, at the age of 64. Born on March 20, 1962, Rikki was a beacon of creativity and kindness, whose light shone brightly in the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. A true artist at heart, Rikki found joy and solace in the world of art. She possessed an innate talent that allowed her to transform the simplest of materials into breathtaking works of art. Her passion for creation was matched only by her love for the tranquility of fishing, where she found peace and inspiration in nature's embrace. Rikki's life was a testament to the beauty she saw in the world, and she never stopped creating, leaving behind a legacy of creativity that will continue to inspire others. Rikki was not only an artist but also an exemplary friend. Her kind heart and generous spirit knew no bounds. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, embodying the true essence of friendship and compassion. Her ability to listen and offer support made her a cherished confidante to many. Though we mourn the loss of Rikki, we also celebrate the remarkable life she led. Her laughter, wisdom, and warmth will be sorely missed but never forgotten. She leaves behind a community forever touched by her presence, her love, and her art. As we say goodbye to Rikki, we hold onto the memories and the lessons she imparted. May her soul find eternal peace, and may her legacy of love and creativity continue to inspire us all.

Service Program

She Is Gone

You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, Or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she'd want: Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Special Thanks

The family of RIKKI LYNN COOK extends heartfelt gratitude for your prayers, support, and kindness during this time.
