Cheri Cook

Cheri Cook, affectionately known as “C.C.,” passed away on November 8, 2026, at the age of 66. Born on October 28, 1960, Cheri will be remembered as a wonderful, unique woman whose love, warmth, and generosity touched the lives of so many. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Cheri’s family was the center of her life, and spending time with them meant the most to her. She loved her grandchildren deeply and took great joy in being surrounded by those she cherished. Known as a wonderful cook, she shared her care and affection through the meals she prepared and the welcome she extended to others. To many, Cheri was everyone’s mom, always looking after those around her and making sure others felt cared for. She was also a wonderful friend, remaining loyal and loving all the way to the end. Cheri found happiness in listening to music, dancing, and creating moments of joy with the people she loved most.

She is survived by her daughters, Tosha Williams and Dominique Wilson; her son, Demetry Wilson; and Nina Johnson, who was like a daughter to her. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Amaya Langford, Darius Pauley, and Joshua Young, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Cheri is also survived by her mother, Dorothy Pogue; her brothers, Willie Frank Cook Jr. and Anthony Cook; her sister, Sharon Pogue; her special niece, LaDonna Walton; and her special nephew, Labraun Averette. Each of them carries forward memories of her love, strength, laughter, and the many ways she cared for her family and friends.

Cheri was preceded in death by her son, Adrin Cook, and by her father, Willie Cook Sr.

Those who knew Cheri will remember her for her open heart, her strength, her love of family, and the kindness she gave so freely. Her life was a blessing, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
