Wayne Cooke
1947-2023
With heavy hearts and great sadness, the family of Wayne
Cooke announce the loss of our beloved husband, father, grandfather
and best friend. Wayne died at the Victoria General Hospital on August
12th surrounded by his loving family.
Born October 28th, 1947 in New Glasgow, he was a son of the
late Billy and Nellie Cooke.
Family was very important to Wayne and his greatest enjoyment
was spending time at his summer cottage at Big Island with them.
In 2019, he was very proud to purchase his own property on
the Island where he spent quality time with his family and friends. He
made it his mission to get rid of the mosquitoes on Big Island. He
loved spending time around his yard gardening and in his machine shop.
He also loved the outdoors and spent many years snowmobiling. He was
very witty and had a great sense of humour right up to his last
day.
Wayne grew up in Linacy. He was a machinist at Diamond
Construction in Sackville before moving to Trenton, NS with his
family, working at Trenton Works for 33
years.
He is survived by his wife and soulmate of 53 years,
Bernadette «Bernie» (Fraser) Cooke and their children, Sheri
(Ken) Scott, Lynn (Pat) Laffin, John Cooke (Kaela); and grandchildren:
Kara Scott, Marisa and Scarlett Laffin, Ellie Cooke, Trevor (chosen
grandchild), Nathan and Brady Mills and Kallie Cooke (and their mother
Heather Mills).
He is also survived by sisters: Shirley (Jack) Wieler, Sharon
(Tommy) Dudka and Sheila (Edgil) Hayter; sisters and brothers-in-law:
Joe Lewis, Buddy and Pat Fraser, Mabel Fraser, Anne Romans, Margie and
Eldred MacKenzie, Mary and David Urquhart, Sharon Brown, Chuckie
Brown, and Brenda and Edwin «Terk» Anderson, who were also
best friends. He had numerous nieces and nephews who all
loved him dearly.
He was predeceased by his special aunt, Doris; his brother,
Junior «Bill» and his wife Erma Cooke; and mother and
father-in-law, Bert and Annie Fraser; and by his sister and
brothers-in-law: Marie Lewis, Lewis Fraser and Jim
Romans.
Wayne loved a good time and enjoyed having drinks with
friends. Rest easy, until we meet again, we love you. Please
raise a glass in his name
