Janet Marie Cook, 86, of Vienna, WV is now in the arms of the Lord, free from the extended illness she endured here on Earth. She left from WVU Medical Center, Camden Clark on December 20th, 2024.
She was a bright and happy spirit who loved to laugh and have fun wherever she was. She could always find something to laugh about and never took life too seriously but preferred to look on the bright side. She enjoyed going to yard sales, flea markets and auctions until her failing health prevented it.

In years past, they were members of Stardusters Square Dancers…
