Elizabeth "Betty" Cooke, a cherished soul whose warmth left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2025, at her residence at Riddle Village in Media, PA at the age of 89. Born on July 22, 1935, in Philadelphia, PA, Betty was the youngest daughter of the late Thomas and Elizabeth Bones.  Betty is predeceased by her seven older brothers: Thomas, Eugene, Lawrence, John, James, Joseph, and Francis.  Survived by numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. 

Betty was wife of the late Leo Cooke.  Together, they explored the world, traveling extensively across the United States and abroad, creating a lifetime of memories. Their love for travel was matched by their appreciation for the arts, they loved classical music and were regular attendees at performances by the Philadelphia Orchestra. 

Betty enjoyed dining out, socializing with friends, watching our Philly sports teams, loved Big five basketball and the many activities at Riddle Village.
