Jodi Darlene Cook

Jodi Darlene Cook, 67, of Opelika, Alabama, passed away peacefully on June 29, 2026, at Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama.

Born on January 8, 1959, in Opelika, Alabama, Jodi was the daughter of the late Otis W. Hollis and Bobbie F. Hollis. She was a graduate of Smiths Station High School and retired after a successful career as an accountant.

Jodi was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She shared 29 blessed years of marriage with her beloved husband, Rosville "Buddy" Cook, Jr. Her Christian faith was the foundation of her life, and she faithfully attended church throughout the years. She often reminded those around her, "God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good," and found comfort in her favorite scripture, John 3:16.

Known for her generous heart and caring spirit, Jodi never met a stranger and was always willing to help those in need. She loved cooking, canning, spending time at the beach, cheering on the Auburn Tigers, watching hummingbirds, tending to her yellow roses, and making memories with family and friends. She also took pride in always having her nails perfectly done. Above all, she will be remembered for her kindness, unwavering faith, and the love she shared with everyone around her.

She is survived by her husband, Rosville "Buddy" Cook, Jr.; her daughter, Bobbie Jean Wright, of Opelika, Alabama; her son, Matt Clark (Cindy), of Auburn, Alabama; her stepson, Lee Cook (April), of Taylorsville, Utah; her brother, Andy Hollis (Ashley), of Foley, Alabama; her grandchildren, Jason Clark (Karli), Austin Clark, Abigail Shelley (Stephen), Hunter Wright, Logan Wright, Ty Cook (Bayley), Kami Cook, Brandon "Taylor" Holmes, and Justin Holmes; her great-grandchildren, Greyson Cook and Collin Cook; along with numerous cousins, extended family members, and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Otis W. Hollis and Bobbie F. Hollis, and her stepdaughter, Jeannie Tulisa McGee.

A memorial service celebrating Jodi's life will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) at Living Waters Ministries Center, 3005 Lafayette Parkway, Opelika, Alabama 36801.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. "John 3:16
