FARMINGTON – Brenda J. Cook, 76, of Livermore Falls, passed on to be with her Lord and savior on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 27, at Franklin Memorial Hospital, Farmington, after a sudden illness.

Brenda, devoted to her religious convictions, attended Son Shine ministries at Murray Hall when she was able and was known as a Bible scholar. She enjoyed collecting and restoring antiques in her free time.

She is survived by her sister, Wanda Jennings of Livermore Falls; and many special cousins.
