Mary Lois Cook Hughes, 50 of Franklin, Tenn., died
peacefully at 10:00 p.m. Sunday,  just four days short of
her 51st birthday.  During her long fight with cancer
she, received an enormous amount of love from her family
and friends.  Despite her illness, her last days were
happy.

Ruston and the sister of Nancy Frye and Beth Cook of
Dallas, Ruth Ann Johnson of Corbin, West Virginia, Dixie
Curry of Weatherford, Oklahoma, and Robert "Sonny" Cook
of Ruston.  She is survived by her husband Harry and
three sons, Randy, Gordon and Matthew.

Memorial services were on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. in
Franklin, Tenn. Among family  and friends who came to
mourn, share memories, see old friends and celebrate the
life of a wonderful woman.

Lois was buried beside her daughter Melissa and
grandaughter,, Renee, who were tragically killed in an
automobile accident in October of 1986.

Her legacy is the inspiration she gave us and the joy
she brought into the lives of those she touched.  Her
influence will be with us forever.

In her memory we ask that you take a friend to lunch or
dinner and tell him or her the things we often think of
only after someone is gone.

She brought us joy and we loved her well.
