Kathryn (Kathie) Mary Cook

MUNROE FALLS - Kathryn Mary Cook, 75, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2023. Kathie grew up in Akron, Ohio, and was a resident of Munroe Falls for over 40 years.

Kathie was a loving and beloved wife, mother, and grandmother who will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She worked for the family business, Akron Bearing Company, and retired after more than 35 years of service. Kathie graduated from the University of Akron, and while there, she was a member of the Theta Phi Alpha sorority. Kathie really enjoyed lively conversations when visiting family and friends. Among her personal pleasures were watching old TV comedies, (especially Andy Griffith and Lucile Ball), and movies, and browsing (and buying) local art and craft shows. As a generous spirit, Kathie’s special joy was spoiling her grandchildren, Becca and Josh.

Kathie is preceded in death by her husband, Allen Cook; her parents, Lawrence and Mary Kalgreen; her sister, Susan Kalgreen; and her nephew, David Kalgreen. She is survived by her daughters, Jennifer (David) Carter and Jessica Cook; her grandchildren, Becca and Josh Carter; her brothers, Andrew (Pelagia) Kalgreen, Peter (Diane) Kalgreen, and Matthew (Judy) Kalgreen, as well as many nieces and nephews.
