Georgette Cook Obituary
A lifelong sportswoman, Mrs. Cook played tennis, shot skeet, hunted, and was the Junior Amateur Skeet Shooting Champion of California in 1927. She helped her family manage Quail Hollow Farm in Sandwich, employing her artistic touch to the cut flowers and her culinary expertise to the baking of tea breads and turkeys for the store at Quail Hollow.
Mrs. Cook graduated from Holton Arms, a private finishing school in Washington, D.C., where she subsequently made her debut. Summering with her family in Rhode Island, she met her future husband, Peter Place Cook of Providence, R.I., and after marrying they settled in Sandwich and raised their family. She was predeceased by her husband in 1997.
Mrs. Cook is survived by three children, Peter Place Cook Jr. of Osterville, Penny Rubincam of Wyndmoor, Pa., and Georgette Cook Pola of Sandwich.
Service and burial will be private.
