Charlene Cook 
January 2, 1945 – November 7, 2026

With loving hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Charlene Cook, who went home to be with the Lord on November 7, 2026, in Weatherford, Texas, at the age of 81. Born on January 2, 1945, in Fort Worth, Texas, Charlene lived a life filled with love, faith, and devotion to her family.

Charlene was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. Her family was one of her greatest blessings, and she treasured the time spent with those she loved. She is survived by her son, Rodney Cearly; her grandchildren, Donnovan Cearly and Cindy Corse and her husband, Gene; and her great-grandchildren, Jeremiah Cearly, Asa Cearly, Mason Smith, Hailey Pinner; and her great-great grandchild, Everleigh Hyde.

She is also lovingly remembered by her niece, Melissa Anderberg, and Melissa's children, Lisa Vala, Jeremy Sledge, and Shawnna Sledge, along with five great-nieces and two great-nephews who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Charlene was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Charlie Smith and Dorothy Jacobs; her husband, Bill Cook; and her sister, Melba Simpson. Though they have gone before her, the love and memories they shared remained a treasured part of her life.

Charlene found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved working on crafts, spending time fishing, and creating things with her hands. She also took great pride in being a homemaker and found joy and purpose in caring for her home and family. Her greatest treasure, however, was her faith. Charlene was deeply devoted to her church and regularly attended Bible study. Her relationship with God was an important part of who she was, providing her with strength, comfort, and guidance throughout her life.

Charlene's life was a testament to the importance of faith, family, and the quiet beauty of a life devoted to those you love. She leaves behind a legacy of treasured memories, family traditions, and a love that will continue through the generations. While her presence will be deeply missed, those who knew and loved her can find comfort in knowing that her faith has carried her home.

Though our hearts are saddened by her passing, we rejoice in the hope of eternal life and take comfort in knowing that this is not goodbye, but simply until we meet again.

She will be forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
