Connie Lynn Cook

Connie Cook, age 62, of Smyrna, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2026.

Connie lived life to the fullest each and every day. She found joy in the simple things and treasured every moment spent with family, friends, and the many animals she welcomed into her home over the years. She never met a creature she didn't love, including the countless pets her children would "rescue" and bring home.

A talented cook and an even better baker, Connie expressed her love through the meals and treats she shared with those around her. She loved music of all kinds and could often be found attending concerts, whether it was Guns N' Roses, Kenny Chesney, or anyone in between. Her enthusiasm for life and adventure was contagious.

Connie also had a remarkable gift for gardening. She could make anything grow and took great pride in her beautiful gardens, which flourished with vibrant flowers, healthy tomato plants, and an abundance of cucumbers & peppers. Her yard was a reflection of the care and love she poured into everything she did.

She is survived by her loving husband, Russ Cook; her children, Jessica and Ronnie Ellis, Jenner and Kirstyn Turner, Chelsea and Kody Hurt, Logan Cook, and Jolea Cook; her sisters, Jenelle and Jack Harris and Eva and Comer Pulley; her brother, Jenner and Vicki Bennett; and her cherished grandchildren, Jamen, Ryker, Brayden, Milly, Taylon, Raegan, and Emerie.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Janice and J.W. Bennett Sr., and her brother, Jeff Bennett.

While Connie deeply loved all of her children, her greatest joy was being "Mimi" to her grandbabies. They were truly the light of her life.
