Karol Kotter Cook, 68, was rescued from an aggressive battle with Malignant Melanoma Cancer on January 29, 2019. Family and friends were ever vigilant contributing to her support and every need.
On January 2, 1951, Karol became the third of eventually four children born to Robert LaMar and Norma Neilson. She spent her early years in Reno Nevada and then moved with her family to Bountiful Utah where she attended and graduated from Viewmont High School. She attended Brigham Young University securing a position to teach at Springville High School a month prior to her receiving her B.S. degree in Health and P.E.
She married W. Bryce Cook on February 1st 1973 in the Salt Lake Temple. They are raising six wonderful children Rachelle (Cody Jones), Gregory Bryce (Kimberly Johnson), Bryan David (Camille Call), Rebekah (Bennett Oberg), Clayton Kotter (Kallee Kennington), and Kjersty (Chris Driessen). Karol has 21 grandchildren with two more on the way, two step-grandchildren, and two step-great-grandchildren.
Karol is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She has enjoyed serving in the Young Women’s Program, Relief Society and especially in the Primary. She served in three missions of the church: Logan Utah, DRC Kinshasa Congo and the Paris Temple Mission.
