Lynn O. Cook
Henderson, TN: Lynn Odell Cook, age 83, died Saturday afternoon March 24, 2012 at the Henderson Health and Rehabilitation Center.
Mr. Cook was born in Bossier City, Louisiana and grew up in Vivian, Louisiana, the son of the late Frank Jack and Willie Lorene Cranfil Cook. He graduated from Vivian High School in 1947 and Freed-Hardeman College in 1949. He did his undergraduate work and received his Master’s Degree from Jackson University in Honolulu, Hawaii. He married Ann Lemon in 1950.
Mr. Cook did local preaching for forty six years for churches of Christ in Texas, Arkansas, Illinois, and Hawaii, where he founded the Pearl Harbor Church of Christ. He had done missionary work throughout Europe and Asia. He delivered Bibles behind the Iron Curtain in 1968 and escaped Czechoslovakia just prior to the closing of the border.
Every church Mr. Cook worked for grew spiritually, numerically, and financially. The past seventeen years he served as Director of Development for Churches of Christ Disaster Relief traveling most, if not all, the continental states. He had a passion for helping those who were less fortunate. He loved people and he loved seeking and saving the lost.
He is survived by his wife of sixty two years, Ann Lemon Cook, two sons Russell Cook of Knoxville and Paul Cook of Henderson and a daughter Beverly Watkins of Nashville, a brother, Bobby Cook of Oxford, AL and a sister Malvinee Jett of Corsicana, TX, 13 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by a daughter Melanie Mitchell in 2005, a brother Jack Cook and a sister Betty Price.
Memorial services will be 11:00 AM Tuesday at the Henderson Church of Christ with Bill Watkins officiating.
