Emma Louise Cook, age 59, passed suddenly on December 10, 2017 at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center, Americus, Georgia.

The funeral service will be held at 1:00 P.M., Sunday, December 17, 2017 at Travelers Home Missionary Baptist Church, Travelers Home Road, Ideal, Georgia. Interment will follow in the Lebanon Cemetery.

Emma was born on October 1, 1958 in Ideal, Georgia to the late James Cook and Emma Jo Raines Cook. She was preceded in death by her one and only child, Anthony Bernard Cook. She was reared by two loving and caring aunts, Willie Faye Raines and Nancy Bivins. At an early age she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and joined Travelers Home Missionary Baptist Church where she served faithfully as a member and on the Missionary Ministry. She was educated in the public school system of Macon County where she attended the historic Ideal Elementary School and graduated for the historic D.F. Douglas High School in 1976. Emma was employed at Southern Frozen Food for a short period of time. She went on to work as a CNA at the former Ideal/Miona Nursing Home for over 20 years until health began to fail.

Emma was a sweet, gentle soul. She leaves to cherish her memories: four siblings, Brenda Jo Cook, Barbara Lee Lyles (Charles), all of Ideal, Georgia, Annie Grace Cook (Wayne), Reynolds, Georgia, and Joseph Chester Cook, Ideal, Georgia; two nephews, Quentin Cottle Sr. (Debbie), Jamie Lynn Cottle; five great nephews and nieces, Quentin Cottle Jr., Braylon Zaire Golden, Michah Aden Cottle, Hannah Meon Cottle, and Cassietta Janaiya Cottle; two devoted aunts, Elouise Raines and Ilene Raines; a devoted friend, Barbara Ann Harpe; host of other relatives and friends.

It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35) and it pains our creator, too. Our loving Heavenly Father did not purpose his human family to die but purpose us to live and enjoy life. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever__ 1 Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing”; Isaiah 25:8). He promised to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death__ Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will rise ...Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! ...the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." He will then “satisfy the desire of every living thing” (Psalms 145:16). What a delight it will be to see them again to enjoy life as our Creator purposed! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.

I am very sorry for your loss. May the love of family, friends, and Almighty God bring you comfort and support during your time of grief and afterward. (Ps. 83:18; Isaiah 41:10) May the hope of a resurrection on a restored earth bring you peace. (Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29)
