Marijane Cook

Marijane Margret Nikole Cook, 27, of Monrovia, unexpectedly passed away in her sleep on August 17, 2026, after enduring complications from pneumonia. Born on March 17, 1999, in Danville, Indiana, to Adam D. Cook and Chrysti (Pugh) Cook, Marijane lived life entirely on her own terms with relentless determination and a fearless spirit. Growing up, Marijane attended Monrovia Elementary and High School with the Class of 2017, along with brief periods at Mooresville and Eminence. Having lost her mother at a very young age, Marijane carried that profound heartache with her, which deeply shaped her resilience and her longing for close family connections. Diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at just four months old, Marijane spent her life defying odds and facing daily treatments with grit and grace. Though doctors once doubted she would make it to her teenage years, her fearless and stubborn resolve proved otherwise. Marijane was a true social butterfly who never met a stranger, made friends wherever she went and lit up every room she entered. She loved four wheeling in the woods, tearing around on her side-by-side, bumping loud rap music, and cruising in her favorite purchase—a '93 maroon and gray Mustang convertible. While she wasn’t always the best judge of character when it came to others, she was fiercely independent, determined, and destined to forge her own unique path through the world. With the gift of modern medicine and breakthrough treatments, Marijane received what she considered her life's ultimate blessing: the birth of her daughter, Hazley, on August 5, 2025. Marijane’s legacy of love lives on through Hazley, who continues to be cherished and nurtured by a devoted family, including Taylor and Tommy, who faithfully provide Hazley with a home filled with warmth, stability, and endless affection. Marijane’s absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Along with her daughter, survivors include her loving father, Adam Cook and her stepmother of 20 years, Stacy Hill of Monrovia; siblings, Olivia Garcia (John) of Heltonville, Jaycob Cook of Monrovia, Gray Mudd of Danville, and RuthAnne Hill of Monrovia; paternal grandmother, Vickie Mann; great-grandfather, Donald Pugh: and a host of extended family members and friends from all walks. She was reunited in death with her mother, Chrysti (Pugh) Cook; her beloved maternal grandparents, Arthur "Papaw Artie" and Katherine Pugh; paternal grandfather, Larry Cook. Funeral and cremation arrangements were entrusted to Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel, Monrovia. Friends and family are invited to Celebrate Marijane’s Life on Friday, August 28, 2026, with a memorial gathering held from 3 to 5pm, at Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel, Monrovia.
