Wanda Cook Obituary

Wanda Marcks Cook died on August 21, 1991. This obituary was published in The Oregonian on August 22, 1991.

A memorial service for Wanda Marcks Cook, a Northeast Portland resident, will be

at 3 p.m. Friday in the Salvation Army's Rose Center. Interment will be in Riverview Abbey Mausoleum.

Mrs. Cook died of causes related to age Wednesday in a Portland foster care home.

Mrs. Cook was born March 26, 1895, in Eureka, S.D. A resident of the Portland

area since 1922, she owned and operated the Cameo Beauty Shop for a number of years. She had done volunteer-work for the Salvation Army and helped out at the Rose Center for Seniors until about three years ago.

Mrs. Cook is survived by her son, Roy of Yachats; five grandchildren; and nine

great-grandchildren.

The family suggests remembrances be contributions to the Salvation Army.
