Rose Hicks Cook
Rose Hicks Cook 5/10/20 ~ 2/4/05 LEHI - Rose Hicks Cook passed away quietly in her home February 4, 2005 following a long illness, having lived a long and fruitful life. She was born May 10, 1920 in the family home in Lehi, Utah to Royal Chris Hicks and Dora Hansen Hicks. She attended schools in American Fork, graduating from American Fork High School. She lived in California during the World War II years, and after returning to Utah met and married Rulon W. Cook, of Cedar Fort. Their wedding took place in the home of her sister, Avice Thayne on Christmas Eve, 1947. What a wonderful Christmas present that turned out to be. The marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple. Rose was active in the LDS Church, holding numerous callings. Of special import to her were working with the Young Women's program in the Lehi Stake, and serving in the Relief Society presidency, both as a counselor and as president, in the Lehi Second Ward. The highlight of her service was the opportunity to serve a mission in the Altanta, Georgia Temple with her husband. Rose was active in the PTA while her children were young, playing a key role in keeping the elementary school open in Cedar Fort in the mid 1950's, bringing a school lunch program to the school, and obtaining playground equipment. Civic affairs were also of concern to her, as she was also active in the Utah County League of Women Voters. Rose was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Marlin and D.J. Hicks; a granddaughter, Janette Sto-ker; and great- granddaughter, Kassandra Robinson. She is survived by Rulon, her sweetheart of 58 years; daughters, June (Richard M. Stoker) of Lehi, Judy (Roy Robinson) of Elko, NV; and son, Dr. LaMar R. Cook (Elaine Hill) of Lehi. She is also survived by her sister, Avice Thayne of Pleasant Grove; and brothers, Nile (Reta) Hicks of American Fork, Kenneth (Rita) Hicks of Lehi, and Carl (Jean) Hicks of Littlerock, WA. Rose was blessed with 13 grandchildren, 27 great-grand-children; and one great great-grand-child. Funeral services will be held Thursday, Feb. 10, 2005 at 11 a.m. in the Lehi, Utah LDS Stake Center, 200 N. Center St. A viewing will be held for family and friends, Wednesday evening at the Wing Mortuary, 118 E. Main, Lehi, from 6-8 p.m. and at the Church Thursday from 10 a.m. until time of services. Interment will be in the Lehi City Cemetery.
