Gladys Caffman Cook

Mrs. Cook was a founding member of Prichard Assembly of God, which later became Lakeview Assembly of God, and is now Fountain of Life Church. A woman of strong faith, she was very active in her church. She was a member and past-president of the church's Women's Missionary Council, earning a Mobile Scroll of Merit for her work in that organization. Many of the church's youth members went on to lead very successful lives in mission work and other areas as a result of her guidance as the church's Youth Sunday School Superintendent.

Mrs. Cook was preceded in death by her husband of 75 years, James Ralph Cook, and son-in-law, Robert Lee Mott. She is survived by her daughters, Shirley Criswell (V.C.) and Darothy Mott; grandchildren, V. Clyde Criswell, III (Jeannette), Susan Gantick (Christopher), Kimberly Tait, Sandi Emanuel (Tony), and Robbin Stevens (Kenny); great-grandchildren, Brian Gantick, Heather Hestand (John), John Tait, III (Brandi), Kristopher Bennett, Myra Jane Bennett, Walter Bennett, Jr., Kaleb Stevens (Stephanie), and Gabriel Stevens; brother, Jerry M. Caffman (Carolyn); brother-in-law, Joseph W. Cook (Joyce); nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends.
