Connie (Moore) Cook, formerly of Sunman, Indiana, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 at St. Andrews Health Campus in Batesville. She was 83.
Connie was born in Owsley County Kentucky on March 1, 1936 to Bradley and Opal (Sandlin) Moore. She married Hershel Wade Cook on July 23, 1955. To this union, God would give one very extra ordinary and special son, Myron Wade Cook.
Connie’s calling in life was to be “all” to her only child, Myron. They were connected at the hip and heart! Myron was born with Cerebral Palsy. His life would be one full of “obstacles,” physical and mental. In spite of that, his life was also filled with happiness, love, joy…and mostly anything he wanted. Connie stated once that, “I’m so glad God gave me Myron, because He knew just what I needed. “ Connie would give birth to and care for that son for 54 years. She knew he was her life’s purpose and with God’s help she fulfilled it to the utmost.
She has finally been reunited with Myron and Hershel. What a blessing she was to all who knew her. Most of all, as a Christian her life was a testimony to God’s boundless love, grace and provision in all circumstances. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
She is survived by her siblings, Denny (Sharon) Moore and Glenda Adams, both of Sunman, and Curtis (Vivian) Moore of West Harrison, Indiana. and half brother Phillip (Louise) Meece of Lewisville, OH. Also surviving; nieces, Sandy (Tim) Oxley, Amber (Todd) Mays; nephews, Donnie (Linda) Stall, Tim (Laura) Moore and Brad Moore, and many great nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Hershel, her son Myron, brothers-in-law Woody Adams and Carl (Buck) Stall, and her sister, Aliene Stall.
