Marilyn married the love of her life, Alexander Burns Cook, on August 11th, 1992. They were devoted to each other for the next 30 years. Together they lived a very happy and beautiful life which included their beloved pets, Malcolm and Cookie. Marilyn enjoyed swimming, the city of Chicago in particular, and traveled extensively in the world. She was a member of the Cleveland College Club and the Vermilion Boat Club. Marilyn was an active member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cleveland Hts., where she served on the altar guild.

Marilyn Cook is survived by her beloved husband. Her ashes will be laid in a garden at St. Paul’s. There are no planned events, as she did not wish to have services.
