Barbara A. Cook, age 66 of Wayne died on Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Her passing was unexpected after a sudden illness.
Barbara was born in Brooklyn, NY and then moved to Nutley as a young girl. She graduated from Nutley High School with the class of 1960. She then attended the Berkeley Secretary School where she received an Associate’s Degree.
She moved to Wayne in 1963 with her husband Frank. Soon after Frank passed away in 1981, Barbara began to work for the Township of Wayne. She was Assistant Business Administrator under Mayor Newt Miller and Board of Adjustment Secretary. She also enjoyed a few years working for Senator Scott of Lyndhurst during the 1990’s. She went to work for the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs in 1999 and had been there ever since. She poured herself into her work to where it became her life, and she truly enjoyed all the people she got to know throughout her career. She was also a member of the Wayne Republican Club and the Wayne PAL Woman’s Auxiliary.
She would frequently vacation in Lancaster County, PA where she particularly liked the tranquil, country setting. As the shopping outlets and malls began appearing in Lancaster County, she began to like it even more!
Barbara is survived by one son; Frank Cook and his wife Fran of Wayne, three granddaughters; Emily, Kaitlyn, and Jennifer Cook of Wayne, one sister; Alva Antrim of Nutley, one brother; Martin Morrison, one niece; Andrea Marsh of Lincoln Park, and Andrea’s children; Leigha and Eric Marsh of Lincoln Park.
