ST. REGIS – Agnes Mary Cook, “Owesokon”,101, of 22 Kateri Tekawitha Street, peacefully slept away early Friday morning, January 10, 2020 at her home.

Agnes was born July 7, 1918 in St. Regis, the daughter of the late Thomas and Louise (Stuart) Jock. She attended rural schools on the Reservation. On June 15, 1941, she married Joseph B. Cook in Florida. Joe predeceased her on December 27, 1995.

Agnes was a homemaker and loving mother to her children and was a Tota for the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Head Start Program. She also worked for Evelyn Copeland as a housekeeper for many years. She was a lifelong communicant of St. Regis Catholic Church and had a great love for reading, cooking, staying current with politics and listening her music – especially the sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Ray Price.

Cook on July 27, 2017; a grandson, Wilson C. “Buster” Cook, II; great grandsons, Eric Cook, Wayne Jacob Cook, Thunder Light; and her siblings, Ann “Tioienhnon”, Margaret Flagg, Mary, Vi Flagg, Anna Shcoff, Louise White, Louie, Joe, Marie, John, Francis Jock, and Thomas Mussel.

Her family will receive friends at her home, 22 Kateri Tekawitha Street beginning Monday 4:00 PM until 1:00 PM Tuesday. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Tuesday 2:00 PM at St. Regis Catholic Church with Rev. Jerome Pastores, celebrating. Cremation will follow services.
