Anita Cook Obituary
Reidsville,
Anita Ann Lariscey Cook, age 62, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 8, 2024. Born in Lyons on November 14, 1961, to Jay and Nanerl Brinson Lariscey, Anita spent many years in Emanuel County before moving to Tattnall County 12 years ago. Known for her compassionate heart, she dedicated her life to helping others as a private duty nurse, providing care and comfort to patients and their families during their final days. Many of those she cared for were in hospice, and she took great pride in offering them solace and support during their most challenging times. In her free time, Anita found joy and relaxation in sewing, a beloved hobby that helped her unwind. She was a devoted member of Believers Church.
