Carla Ann Myklebust Cosco

Carla Cosco Obituary

CARLA ANN MYKLEBUST COSCO On April 21 at 1:30 p.m. the gates of heaven opened to receive God's precious servant, Carla Ann Cosco. Carla was born on November 29, 1958 in Kansas City, Missouri to Gloria and Carl Myklebust. Carla leaves behind her soul mate and the love of her life for the past 33 years, Scott L. Cosco. Carla and Scott would have celebrated their 24th Wedding Anniversary on May 21st. Carla also leaves her cherished children Carly Ryan and Carson Scott and her very dearest companion, her yellow Lab, Rebel Scout. Carla joins her grandparents and dearly beloved brother Mark Myklebust. We know they are thrilled to be reunited. Mourning her loss are her Mother, Gloria Jordan and her partner Jack McCue, her father Carl Myklebust and step-mother Joan, her brothers Scott Myklebust and Chris Myklebust his wife Gina and their children Jessica, Sarah, Mason, and Kayla, sister in law Quita MykIebust and her son Mark Paul. Also, surviving Carla is her second family, her father and mother-in- law Lou and Jackie Cosco, brother-in-law Kim Cosco and his wife Renee and their children Cullen and Courtland, sister-in-law Pam Wroolie her husband Chris and their sons Taylor and Logan, her sister-in-law Donna and her husband Jack Borland and their son John David, and sister-in-law Jackie Peden and her husband James. Although Carla was united with this family through marriage she was no less a daughter and sister to them all. Carla grew up in the Champions community. Following graduation from Cy-Fair High School, Carla enjoyed her career in banking where she made countless friends. In 1983 Carla began her most treasured and rewarding career as wife to Scott, and later mother to Carly and Carson. Carla relished her home, her family and her friends. She was a wonderful cook and shared her talent selflessly, frequently providing her friends and neighbors with chicken gumbo and rum cakes. Carla was a longtime member of Champions Golf Club and dedicated her time and energy to Meals On Wheels. She was a devoted member of Cypress Creek Christian Church. Although our hearts are heavy and we will miss her terribly, we know the angels are rejoicing as they welcome one of their own. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM), 15555 Kuykendahl Houston, Texas 77090, or Meals on Wheels at 15555 Kuykendahl, Houston Texas 77090, or Houston Hospice, 8811 Gaylord, Houston, Texas 77024, or THE CARLA COSCO FOUNDATION, TRUSTMARK BANK, 3715 FM 1960 West, Houston, Texas 77068.

Scott, I continue to think of you and your family. There was a reason we connected at Medical City. I wish we could have met in happier times. I hope you and the kids are staying strong. Jennifer left ICU today and will be on the 9th floor for awhile. She then will go to Zale Lipshy rehab. Thank you again for all the support you gave me during that awful nightmarish period. I appreciated the to-gos you had available. Many prayers to all of you, Martha Poinsett Jennifers Aunt

Scott and families, I was very sad about Carla leaving us way too soon. She is truly an angel, and the only sense I can make of it is that God wanted her back. Carson, I enjoyed talking to you on the phone the other day, you definitely come from good stock. Scott, it was really good to see you the other night, regret that we didn't talk longer. If you want, let's get together soon to play golf, drink a beer, or just hang out. I can only imagine what you're going through, so please include me in your life if you have the time or inclination. If you don't already have plans for this w/end {Mem}, I'm thinking about meeting my brother Scott and a couple golf buddies at the River in New Braunfels. Please call me, 281-469-6718. You and your family, and Carla are in my prayers every day. With love always, Greg

scott and all those that feel the deep void that this tragedy has left, i am so very sorry for your loss. the time we spent at the 30 year reunion reminded me of how very special carla was. my brother and i had an awesome time with you scott at the night of the reunion in the parking lot, and were looking forward to continuing the party at tin hall the next evening. carla told us we had just missed you, so we spent a lot of time with her that night. my brother greg had commented on the way home, that he would marry that girl on the spot. he has a girlfriend and does not stray, it's just that carla made that big of an impact. a special angel has been taken away from even the ones that did not know her enough, which makes me so very sad for those of you that had her in your life full time. carla lit up every place she ever entered, and now there is not enough light to take her place. hopefully, scott, you and your family can carry the torch forward and keep her glow alive. i can't express how bad i feel for you all. thanks for the time you spent with greg and me. if there is anything at all that i can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. love, scott hartwig....817-421-5682.......cell# 682-551-6463.

How sad I was to learn of the sudden passing of your wonderful wife and mother. We all have our deep faith knowing that she is with Our Lord and all of His Loving Family. But still, how we will all miss her fabulous smile and laughter. This is the hard part.
May God grant you the strength to see you through the days ahead and may your happy memories of your Soul Mate and Mommy comfort you always.
Warmly and with deepest sympathy,

Dear Cosco and Myklebust Families,

I was deeply saddened when my mother (Betty Dunlap) called me, crying, on Monday morning. I had been asking about Carla's progress since the proceedure.

While I didn't know her very well, I've long held her in the highest regards. I recall a beautiful young woman driving a Z-28 Camaro and working at Champions Bank. And I recall Scott and Carla dating since way back then! And I've had the pleasure of seeing Carla in the capacity of mother and wife. A CLASS ACT!

Deepest Condolances,

Tuffy and Margaret Weaver

May you be comforted in this difficult time, knowing that God is holding you in His hands. We are so very sorry for your loss and send our most heartfelt condolences.

I am Agnes Carlson's granddaughter. I visited with her Monday and she told me at that time about Carla. She told me that her heart was broken over the massive loss of this special lady. I didn't know Carla but wanted to express my heart felt sympathy to such a wonderful family that is so special to my grandmother. She was a very pretty lady and by the kind words written about her, I also feel that you can take comfort knowing that she is an angel with our Lord.

Carly, Carson and Scott: Please accept my deepest sympathies during your time of grief, yet while you celebrate Carla's life. I first met Carla when our kids attended The Banff School together. One of my fondest memories is of Carly's birthday party held at TGI Friday's and then on to the Haunted Woods. We parents were crazier than the kids.
I pray God's blessings on Carla and may he be with her always during her journey.
Carly, Carson and Scott, continued blessings to you guys and I pray he keeps you and give you strength.

Dearest Scott and Cosco Family,
I could not believe what my Daddy was telling me tonight when he told me about Carla. I am so sorry. Just like the others that have written notes, I too, after all of these years, can still see Carla's beautiful smile and that sparkle in her eyes and hear her peaceful voice. She was in angel on earth, just as she is now in heaven...I just hope she finds Miss Loretta. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
