Nancy Cook

(From Parker Mortuary)

Nancy Sue Cook, age 82, of Joplin, passed away on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at Freeman Hospital West in Joplin.

Nancy, daughter of the late Ralph and Gladys (Neeley) Hunsucker, was born on March 13, 1939 in Sarcoxie, MO where she was raised on the family farm with her parents and brother. 

Soon after high school, she attended the Joplin Business College where she learned the skills needed for office administration. She was previously united in marriage to Donald Moser Sr., and to this union two children were born, Donald Moser Jr., and Rebecca Moser. She later was united in marriage to Vernon Cook in 1978. He preceded her in death in 2019. 

She was employed for many years with the Seneca State Bank. She professed her faith at a young age and was an active part of the churches she attended and was a member of the Seneca Methodist Church in Seneca. 

Nancy was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She treasured times spent with family and having everyone gathered for meals she would lovingly prepare. She enjoyed working in her garden, reading, and taking care of the birds that would visit, but she thoroughly loved and was known for gifting the quilts she would make. Her kindness and gentleness will be greatly missed by her family and those who knew her.

Survivors include her children, Donald Moser Jr., and his wife, Brenda, of Joplin, and Rebecca Perry, and her husband, Jerry, of Edmond, OK; grandchildren, Chris Perry, and his wife, Heidy, and Brett Perry, and his wife, Lauren, all of Edmond; two great grandchildren, Noah Perry, and Dani Perry; and a sister-in-law, Anna Mae Hunsucker, of Kentucky; and several extended family members. In addition to her parents and husband, Nancy was preceded in death by one brother, Max Hunsucker.

Memorial services will be held on Wednesday, December 22, 2021 at 10:00 AM at Parker Mortuary in Joplin with Pastor Kenji Harrington officiating.

Arrangements are under the personal care and direction of Parker Mortuary, Joplin.
