Anytime a family member or friend had a need, she was there to help.

This made her a special person to many individuals. One friend stated, "Some people you count as pure joy to know. However, she could be very direct and authoritative. That was Cooker." Another stated, "She was there when all the babies were born. She was like a member of the family." Cooker attended church wherever she lived: at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Leake County, at First Baptist Church in Jackson, and at Parkway Baptist Church in Clinton.
