Elizabeth (Beth) Almond Cook Obituary

Beth died peacefully at Great Plains Hospital in North Platte Ne. April 3rd with family by her side.  She was born on April 6, 1977 in Skagway, Alaska to Del and Kay Almond.  She completed their family joining sisters Kelly and Jennifer.
The family soon moved to Alliance, Nebraska and into a neighborhood filled with friends and family including her cousins, Travis, Trevor, and Todd.
She attended St. Agnes Academy graduating from Alliance High School with the Class of 1995. She furthered her education by attending LPN school receiving her diploma alongside her childhood friend Hilary (Bauer) Gomez.
Beth was united in marriage to Chris Cook in July of 2001, and to this union Hunter Thomas and Kennedi Kay were added making their family complete.
Her desire to continue in her nursing profession led her to receive her R.N. and BSN.  She worked in the North Platte area most of her career.  She always had a love for the elderly and disabled.  This led her to a new career role at the North Platte Opportunity Center while still carrying on her duties in the nursing field at Lighthouse LLC.
Her greatest joy without a doubt were her children, Hunter and Kennedi.  She was their biggest cheerleader and advocate in their lives.

She was preceded in death by her father, Delton.
