Obituary: Ristin Cooks

Posted on May 21, 2009 by Staff

Ristin Cooks, 41, of Chatham County died Sunday (May 17, 2009) at her home.
She was buried on her farm on Monday. A celebration of Ristin’s life will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 23 at Castle Rock Gardens, followed by a potluck.

Ristin was born in Fayetteville on April 9, 1968 and was a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A fixture at the Carrboro Farmers’ Market, Ristin was a farmer, a writer, a carpenter and a dear friend and inspiration to many. Survivors include Patrick Walsh, Susan Cooks, James Cooks, Michael Cooks and others, too numerous to name here.

Donations should be made to Heifer International.
