Elizabeth B. (Piggott) Cooke of Marlborough, MA passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 23, 2025, in The Reservoir Center for Health and Rehabilitation surrounded by her loving family.

She was born in Boston, MA to the late Clayton and Marjorie (Bond) Piggott. Elizabeth was a graduate of Brookline High School, the class of 1950. She married Frederick D. Cooke in 1950 and they recently celebrated 75 years of marriage.

Elizabeth is survived by her devoted husband, Frederick D. Cooke, her 4 children, William Cooke and his wife Peggy of Warwick, RI, Lawrence Cooke and his wife Margie of St. Maries, ID, Laura Bennett and her husband Peter of Marlborough, and Linda Wheeler of Hudson, her 10 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren along with many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Elizabeth was a member of the First Church Congregational in Marlborough. She loved her family wholeheartedly. She was totally devoted to her husband, always seen holding hands. Her family was first and foremost her number one priority. Her active participation with her children's school, sports, scouting activities, taking pride with their accomplishments, nothing better than being a Mom. Community was important, involved in various civic organizations. She loved to cook and prepare wonderful meals and was always looking for new recipes to please her family.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations to the American Cancer Society ( https://www.cancer.org/ ) or First Church Congregational in Marlborough (https://www.firstchurchmarlborough.org/ )

Services will be at a later date.
