Obituary For Mrs. Perketia Kay King - Cook

Perketia Kay Cook peacefully entered eternal rest on December 29, 2025. She was a woman of faith, strength, and unmistakable personality—stylish, classy, full of laughter, and loved by many.

She cherished music, had a joyful sense of humor, and a presence that left a lasting impression. Her faith was genuine and personal, reflected not only in scripture but in how she loved people from all walks of life and made everyone feel welcomed and seen.

She lived by her favorite scripture, Romans 12:1–2, standing firm in who God created her to be.

She is lovingly remembered by her devoted and only child, Koesha Tierra Cook; her former husband, Gary Lyn Cook; along with extended family, friends, and her church family.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and eternally remembered.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 10:00 until services begin at 12:00 noon at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, 920 South Lake Street, Blytheville, Arkansas where Reverend Doctor Bobby Patterson is the pastor.

Celebration of Life Services will be conducted at 12:00 noon with Reverend Doctor Bobby Patterson delivering the eulogy. Interment will follow in Memorial Park Cemetery.

Condolences may be conveyed to the family online at www.mhfuneralhomeinc.com or through our Facebook page McDonald-Horne Funeral Home.

Professional services and arrangements are under the care and direction of McDonald-Horne Funeral Home.

I met Perketia through work. After about 30 minutes of conversation, she looked at me and said, "Dollie I think we may be some kin". I told her baby if we not, I claim it anyway. We're sisters in Christ. She was beautiful inward and outward and remained the same with whomever she was around.

Sending Heartfelt and Sincere condolences to Lou and the family! My fondest and forever memory is sitting over Ms. Cook's (AKA- Grandma) trying to figure out to make my baby's name more unique than just Destiny, and Ketia said what about Na'Destiny! And that became her name! Rest in Love Keita!
