She was known as “Nornie” and was born on October 2, 1930 in Birdseye, to Lionel and Cora (Newton) Cook. She was a devoted Christian mother and loved her three children more than life itself.  She took them to church and taught them to love God. 

Nornie was a member Fairview General Baptist Church, a very special place to her, and was very involved in the life of the church as a Sunday School teacher and would help with whatever was needed.  She held all of her family and friends close to her heart and shared their joys and loved them through heartache, sickness and troubles.  She was an excellent seamstress and sewed for the entire family.  In her later years, she made many beautiful quilts, table runners, pot holders, and crocheted dish cloths and lighted jars for each season.  She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Luegene Andry; son, David Andry; a daughter, Debbie Houchin; siblings, Russell, Pervil and Howard Cook, Olive Andry, Melva Choate, Berniece Oxley, and Virginia Eckert.
