Alice Elaine Cook, 64, of Little Rock went to be with the Lord October 8th, 2022. She was born in Baptist Hospital on October 6th, 1958 in Little Rock. Such a beautiful soul that gave so many, knowledge and joy. She joins her mother, Robbie Jo Purvis & father, Melvin Purvis; she is reunited with Keith Cook, her love for 30 years; her brothers, Kenny Cook, Jonathan and Bob Purvis; her second mother & teacher, Mamaw Jeannie Tucker; Doyle Cook; grandson, Jordan Cook; partner, Steve Scallion; and best friend, Angie Francis. Left on the Earth to teach others peace & love are her love, Allan Hue; her sons, Josh (Sarah), Jared (Lisa), Jeremy (Jamie) Cook; siblings, Ann, Mike, Charlie, Steve, Joe and Rachel; grandchildren, Devan, Stephanie, Jayden, Chandler, Joshua II, Gracie, Erik and Taylor; 3 great grandchildren and sisters-in-law, Renea (Roger), Rita (Eddie) and Wanda.
She was born to teach; as a child she would teach her brothers and sisters things on life & love, cooking and taking care. She loved to play piano and learned at an early age. She would teach kids to play as well. She played organ for the church as well. She always loved music and always would share or sing her favorites with anyone. But teaching and loving her family was her passion. Anytime anyone needed a place to stay, the door was always open. The most things people say when talking about Elaine Cook was she loved them and you did not leave without feeling full of peace and love.
