According to her death certificate her mother's name was Rose Anna Hundley
Grandma died from a heart attack at age 64 years 6 months and 21 days.
This information was given by James Coon of Poca.
I remember her as being very slim and having natural black hair till the day she died. Some have said she had American Indian blood in her. She and grandpa both lied in state in the living room of their house at Red House, WV. They were taken straight to the church in Hometown, WV. As we arrived at the church, I remember my dad saying, this was the day he had dreaded all his life.

Additional Information received from, Find A Grave contributor Sandy Littlejohn: "I think her mother, Rose Anna Hundley was married to William Cook.
John Preston Cook's death records lists his parents as William Cook and Rose Hundley."
This would make John Cook, Mary's brother and his memorial is 129574585.
