MARY SALLEY MCCOOK


A graveside service will be conducted at 10am on April 28, 2016 at Riverside 
Cemetery, for Mary S. McCook, 94, of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Mrs. McCook 
died in the early hours of April 7 with family members in attendance after 
months of declining health. Mrs. McCook was born in Bernice, Louisiana to 
Larkin and Ruth Salley (Tabor), graduated from Ouachita Parish High School and 
attended Northeast College now known as Northeast Louisiana University. She 
raised her children in Monroe and co-owned McCook Desk and Safe Company with 
her husband of 43 years, Rhes Farmer McCook, Jr. After the death of her husband 
and the selling of McCook Desk and Safe Company, Mrs. McCook flourished in a 
career at R&A Jewelry. She loved learning the jewelry business and the 
mentoring by Sam Rubin, owner. In the latter part of the 1980's Mrs. McCook 
moved to Naples, Florida. In Naples, her primary focus was volunteering at 
Encore, working part time at The Lamp Shoppe and enjoying the warm climate. She 
was especially pleased to be close to one of her brothers and sister-in-law 
during her years in Naples. In 2007, she relocated to Chapel Hill, North 
Carolina to be near her daughter and family. Mary loved family activities above 
all else and was a wonderful gift to her children, grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. She delighted in all the family milestones of holidays, 
graduations, weddings, and birth of great grandchildren.

Her children Charles Rhes McCook (Charlene) of Monroe, Louisiana and Jenny A. 
McCook Mabie (Peter) of Chapel Hill, North Carolina survive Mrs. McCook. She 
leaves five granddaughters, Lisa R. McNease (Bobby), Cindy F. Stine (Steve), 
Stuart Mabie Lascelles (Duncan), Rebecca Mabie McMurray (Bob), and Anna Mabie 
Jordan (Dan) and one grandson, Benjamin Peter Mabie along with six great 
grandchildren, Mallory D. Lawrence (Chris), Bryant P. Devillier, Morgan A. and 
Madison C. Woods, Rob and Ellie McMurray. Surviving her also is a nephew T. 
Ronald "Bo" Salley.

Her husband, Rhes Farmer McCook, Jr., Sister Florine Salley, brothers and 
sisters-in-law, John Burl "JB" Salley (Teresa), Monroe Thomas "Monk" Salley 
(Joy), and Holland T. Salley (Mary Jeanne), predeceased Mrs. McCook.

The family would like to extend gratitude for the consistent care extended by 
Angie Holeman CNA to our loved one during her final years and the many staff 
members at Peak Resources in Graham, North Carolina.

In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the First Methodist Church or your
