Brenda Diane Isakson Cook, 44, passed away suddenly on August 2, 2015, as a result of a tragic car accident in Glasgow, Montana.
Brenda was born on July 4, 1971 in Glasgow, Montana, to Clifford and Dianna (Hallock) Isakson, and was the third of 3 children. She graduated from Glasgow High School. She married Scott A. Cook in 1990, and they had four children. They were married for 14 years.
First and foremost, Brenda loved her children. She loved finding pennies on the ground – she would always say they were pennies from her children in Heaven. She loved pictionary, pinochle, demolition derbies, rodeos, barrel racing and team roping. She was a thrill seeker who loved boating and four wheeling. She was a very talented decorator and her favorite color was red. All who knew Brenda will know that red was very important to her. Brenda worked at the VA Clinic for 11 years and was employed by the State of Montana the last 8.
Brenda is survived by her children, Scott Michael Cook and TiAnna Mikal Cook, her parents Cliff and Dianna Isakson, siblings Randy (Twylla) Isakson and Wes Isakson, niece Shyanne Isakson and nephew Cody Kovach, all of Glasgow. Niece Heather (Nick) Dulaney lived with Scott and Brenda for several years, and was loved as one of their own. Brenda had many special friends who loved her, including Charlotte Hrabak, Lori Stormer, and best friend Angela Austin, all from Glasgow. She had numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Brenda is also survived by special friend, Ryan Lambert of Wolf Point.
Preceding her in death were her beloved daughter Hanna Diane and her son Ty Alan, her grandparents Kenny and Ethel Hallock, and Joe and Verna Isakson.
In honor of Brenda, we ask that anyone attending the funeral wear something red. It would make her smile.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Ronald McDonald house in memory of Hanna Cook.
She had the best sense of humor and she will be missed more than words can describe.
