In Memory of Jeanette “Cookie” Cooke-Dabney - A Fashion Diva
On Monday January 20th, 2014 we lost a Mother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Friend, Mentor, Fashion Icon…
Ms.Cookie was many of those roles to many of us. All of us had great moments, that we shared with her in our own way. We would like you to continue to share your story and pictures with us on Ms. Cookie’s Facebook page.
As many of you may know Ms.Cookie has been in the fashion industry for over 40 years. She walked the runways with style and grace. She taught many models how to hold their heads high, how to walk and how to be confident.
Ms.Cookie shared love, showed love and taught us how to love. She loved beyond all measures. Cookie was truly a child of God, for she graced us with her light of life for 58 years. To have known her is a true blessing. Cookie’s smile could light up a room, her laughter was contagious and her straight no-nonsense talk was the truth!
As we all have a heavy hearts and want to do something for her, I ask that we help her family by donating to Ms. Cookie’s Memorial Fund.
Celebration of Life Jeanette Cooke-Dabney will be held on February 1, 2014 at 11am. At Our Lady Queen of Peace, 3800 Ely Place, SE Washington, DC 202-582-8600
“Giving me life so I can be a part of her own journey is a gift and an honor that is treasured every day. She is my Mother so I respect her. She is my Best Friend so I cherish her. She is my everything so I care for her. And I love her because she deserves it.”~ Forest M. Cooke, son of Ms. Cookie.
We miss and love you dearly our Diva... Rest In Paradise for you walk on God's Runway now!
Thank you for all of your love and support on behalf of the Cooke Family...
