Marjery’s positive attitude was noted by many as she lived her life to make a difference in other people’s lives each day. Her deep faith was always on display. She loved her family, her church, her community, and her friends. She was well-loved in return. We will miss her beautiful smile, her sense of humor, her wisdom, her wonderful kindness, her genuine caring, and her love. We are grateful for the time we had with her.
Marjery arrived in the Perryton area in 1940 as
the bride of Roy Stollings – a match made in heaven. Together, they enjoyed farming the Stollings’ land, raising a family, traveling, and being long time members of the First Baptist Church of Perryton.
Marjery’s dedication to anything she did resulted in success in their endeavors. She was Homemaker of the Year in 1984, a wellloved Sunday School teacher, a wonderful cook of lemon chiffon pies for school picnics and meals for the family, harvest hands, and friends, and an avid player of cards.
Marjery was born in November 1, 1922 near Beaver, OK to Mary (Modrick) and Ed Cook.
She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, Edgar and James Cook.
She is survived by a daughter, Barbara (Tom) Schoellkopf, a son, Roy Lynn (Jane) Stollings, grandsons, Ryan (Katie) Stollings, Jonathan Reinhart, & Darin Stollings, & two great-grandchildren, Harris & Sloane Stollings. She is also survived by step-grandchildren, Tom Schoellkopf Jr, Julie, (Jerrett), Joseph and Elizabeth Deckard, and by many special nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Marjery appreciated and enjoyed visits from her friends and family. She had a life well lived. Keep her spirit alive by loving one another.
