Juanita Lindley Cook

of Manchester, TN

October 11, 1933 - January 17, 2022

Juanita Lindley Cook Passed away very peacefully on Monday, Jan 17th, 2022, at the age of 88.

Juanita was Born on Oct. 11, 1933 in Baldwyn Mississippi - To Harrison and Leunie Garner.
She was born of Baptist Faith-

Juanita Married the Love of her Life William ''˜Bill'' Cook on Dec. 1, 1952.

Juanita's and Bill's Marriage of 68 years is that of a TRUE ''Love Story'' Something you don't see or hear of everyday, anymore''¦-

Juanita and Bill had met after his enlistment in the US Navy. After Serving his country in the Korean War, Bill came home to Marry the ''Love of His Life'' Juanita - And this is how the Lifelong Love Story Begins. They Started a Family and Raised two Beautiful Children - Larry and Carol Cook. Juanita was a Happy Homemaker with exceptional talents in cooking, gardening as well as a seamstress- She was a person with a true ''Green Thumb'' when it came to plantings - Everything She Touched Flourished in Growth- I guess this would also be attributed to that of her marriage to Bill. When they weren't at home managing their property, They could often be found out yard selling or just riding the roads. During their marriage of 68 years, there was very little time that we were not together enjoying the beauty of Life - Whether it was in the Garden or Just Enjoying a Sun Rise or Sunset from their porch swing with their beloved ''4 Legged Furry Children''.

Juanita was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Bill Cook, her son Larry Cook; Juanita also being the youngest of 9 Siblings, is also preceded in death by her brothers Oneal Lindley, Joel Lindley and L.C. Lindley; by her sisters Sereda Brown, Audrey Catt, Opal Warren, Anna Lee Curtis and Louise Brownlee. Juanita is survived by her Daughter, Carol Cook Seig and Son In Law James Seig; grandchildren Tim Baker & (Teya) and Chris Cook / (Mother Debbie); great-grandchildren Korie Baker, Laura Baker; Step Grandchildren Justin (Morgan) & Kayla; Great, Great Grandchildren Grayson and Harper and Loving Little Furbaby Nikki; Brother-in-law James Brownlee of Joiner Ark,; Nieces Christine ''Tatty'' Franklin, Shirley Shortnancy, Glenda Frisbee, & so many more Special Nieces and Nephews.
