Roslyn (Roberts) Cook

Roslyn Cook, a cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2026, in Taylor, Alabama, at the age of 79. Born on January 1, 1947, in Perry, Florida, Roslyn was the beloved daughter of the late Leroy Roberts and Christine Parker Roberts. She was the youngest sibling in a family of eight, and she is preceded in death by her three brothers and four sisters.

Roslyn's life was a testament to her enduring love for her family and her insatiable appetite for knowledge. She was a voracious reader and found great joy in the world of books, often immersing herself in mystery novels and listening to audiobooks when her eyes needed a rest. Her passion for solving puzzles extended beyond the pages of her favorite whodunits, as she was also an avid fan of word puzzles, which kept her mind sharp and her wit quick.

Her greatest pride and joy were her daughters, Sharon Brown and Sheryl Ellison, who, along with Sheryl's husband Michael, provided her with endless love and support. Roslyn's role as a grandmother was one she cherished deeply, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and wisdom in her grandchildren, Adam Collins, Jonathan Brown, and his wife MeaKenzie, and Jasmine Senn, and her husband Mikhael. The memories created during the time spent with her children and grandchildren were the highlights of her life, and she often recounted stories of their adventures and achievements with a beaming smile and immense pride.

Roslyn's presence was a comforting and steady force in the lives of those who knew her. Her gentle guidance, unwavering support, and unconditional love were the cornerstones upon which her family built their lives. She was a woman of quiet strength, facing life's challenges with grace and resilience, and teaching those around her the value of perseverance and kindness.
