Anita Brooks Cook

On Sunday, October 17th, Anita Cook passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Affectionately known as “Neet”, she was born to the late Olga Stephens and Charles Clifford Brooks on January 7, 1947 in Lexington, Georgia. She is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Bobby Cook; sons, Robert Cook of Watkinsville, Ga., and Bradley Cook of Athens, Ga., brother Chuck Brooks of Watkinsville, Ga.; sister Robbie Paine of Statham, Ga.; nephews Jason Paine (Clare) of Mountain Brook, Ala., Justin Brooks (Lee) of Atlanta, Ga., and Cliff Brooks of Jasper, Ga.

"Neet" was a devoted wife, loving mother, business owner and a wonderful homemaker. She was a remarkable artist but her first love was preparing meals for her family and friends, most especially over the holidays for family gatherings. She loved her family more than anything and always put them first. She was a member of Lexington Baptist Church for sixty years.

A private family internment will be held. A Celebration of Life will be held on January 7th, 2022 to coincide with her birthday.

In lieu of flowers and to honor her memory, donations may be made to the Clark Cemetery Fund, c/o Lexington Baptist Church, PO Box 302, Lexington, Ga., 30648.

Lord and Stephens, East is in charge of arrangements.
