Lisa Mitchell Cook, 56, of Fernandina Beach, Fla., passed away peacefully early Tuesday morning, May 8, 2018, at Community Hospice & Palliative Care’s Warner Center for Caring in Fernandina Beach, Fla. Her loving husband of 28 years, Dr. Michael H. Cook, DDS, vigilantly stayed by her side to take care of her every need, just as he had done when they worked together at their dental practice.
Lisa followed her mother, Donna Mitchell, along with her sister and brother to Fernandina Beach in 1980 from southern California to fall in love with the island and the beach where she and Mike have always lived. She now leaves her husband and their immediate surviving family, consisting of two daughters, Ashley Crosby and Susan Sadler; two sons, Michael Crosby (Lauren) and Robby Cook; and three grandchildren, Edie Sadler, Greta Sadler and Sawyer Crosby.
In addition, she is survived by her sister, Joni Thomas and her children, Chris, Josh and Katlynn of Fernandina Beach; a brother, Dan Mitchell and his children, Parker and Paige of Austin, Texas; uncle and aunt, Franz and Martha Lee Mitchell of Fernandina Beach; and uncle, J.D. of Landers, Calif., where she learned to ride motorcycles in the California desert.
She also has an extended family of two half-brothers, Tony Boles (Julie) and Jason Boles (Kelly), and lots of nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles, who all live in Glenwood, Iowa, and dearly love her.
Lisa is at peace now but she left us too soon! We all would like to think that she is now up in Heaven playing her dice game with her departed grandmothers whom she loved. All of her families will sorely miss her, including her two little dogs, CC and Charley, that she walked daily.
The family will have a small private memorial service on the beach at a future date to celebrate her life.
