Holly Paige Cooke

Holly Paige Cooke (Perry) entered this world on July 6, 1992, in Plainview, Texas. The youngest of Joey and Kim Perry's four children, Holly grew up learning the ropes from her older siblings, and used the knowledge she gleaned over the years to surpass each of them. 

Doubling up on her studies, she graduated high school in 2009 – a year before her classmates. She went on to be the first in the family to graduate from college and had soon fulfilled her dream of becoming a Jr. High Math teacher. 

Her family was her entire world. She loved being a mom to LaKay (Kay Kay), Xavier (X-man) and Allison (Allie) and she was always doting on her babies. Her husband Xavier (Matthew) Cooke was the love of her life, and she wasn't afraid to share that with the world. 

Holly loved people and was always the light in the room, no matter who she was with or where she was. She cherished her students and would constantly talk about how much she loved her job, co-workers and students.  

Our Holly Paige left this world at the age of 31 on June 17, 2024, after a car accident not far from her home in Norwood, Missouri. 

She is survived by her husband Xavier (Matthew) Cooke, children, LaKay Paige Abbott (13), Xavier Alexander Cooke (10), and Allison Jean Cooke (6), parents, Joey and Kim Perry of Plainview, Texas, sisters, Keisha Ruff and husband Ronnie of Quitaque, Texas, and Kassie Perry of Plainview, Texas, brother, Stewart Perry of Petersburg, Texas, nieces and nephews, Jaylee Campbell, Cyrie Ruff, Brock Ruff, Blaze Perry, Keilana Perry, Alexa Perry, Daylan Perry, Kaycie Langston, Emma Gilbert and Michael Gilbert, and great niece and nephew, Amber Garcia and Levi Salazar.
