Obituary for Audrey Margaret Cook (Holland)
Audrey Margaret Holland Cook, 85, of Franklin, passed away on Sunday, May 30, 2021 surrounded by her loved ones.
Born in Macon County, she was the daughter of Denver and Delton Jennings Holland. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, David Lee Cook; daughter, Patsy Lynn Cook; one brother, Bryant Holland; and three sisters, Bernice Penley, Phyllis Caldwell, and Marsha Mason.
Audrey loved to spend time with her family and her neighbors. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she never missed an opportunity to tell others of their recent activities and accomplishments. Audrey enjoyed cooking her family their favorite meals and celebrating with them during holidays. She also spent her time working on sewing projects, searching for new recipes in her favorite cookbooks, tending to her plants, and watching birds build nests in her bird houses each spring.
Audrey is survived by a daughter, Marlene Williams (the late Robert Williams), a son, Rick Cook (Vanessa Cook), and daughter, Angela Burrell (Dr. Adam Burrell), all of Franklin, NC. She is also survived by nine grandchildren, Alicia Higdon, Rob Williams, Luke Cook, Taylor Cook, Jordan Burrell, Payton Burrell, Corey Burrell, Jason Kehle, and Renee Jones; six great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life is being planned for Audrey by her family, the details of which will be announced at a later date.
