Tracy Lynn Cook Pearson, 39, passed away Monday, April 7, 2014, at Halifax Regional Medical Center.
Tracy was born May 15, 1974, in Halifax County to Don Cook and the late Paula Baker Cook. She was a member at Smith United Methodist Church. She loved having her children around and was known as “Mama” to all the kids who were always at her home.
